Lot #159 (Sale Order 158 of 190)

9.3 X70mm caliber, 28.5" tapered round barrel, S/N 7076. With German commercial proof mark of the eagle with "N". Double square bridge magnum Mauser action; ramp front sight, rear sight on a lob, on the rear portion of barrel. Scope made by Carl Ziess, Jenna, number 76816. Rear claw mount on the receiver; the front claw mount is on ashank in front of the square bridge receiver bypassing the square bridge receiver. Nice bank note-style engraving on the triggerguard with Goering's personalcrest deeply relief engraved in a panel on the floor plate. Finely checkered walnut stock with checkered pistol grip. Adjustable cheek piece. Leather covered rubber buttplate. Double-set triggers. Magazine release on the inside front of triggerguard.

This custom rifle was purchased by Lester Womac in 1980 at the Las Vegas gun show held at the Sahara Casino. Mr. Womac had acquired it directly from an army officer named Colonel Dick A. King in 1951. The same rifle is featured in the book Mauser Original Oberndorf Sporting Rifles (Jon Speed, Walter Schmid, Reiner Herrman, Collector Grade Publications, 1997). This gun is identified as Reichsmarshall Herman Goering's Double Square Bridge Magnum Mauser Sporting Rifle on page 268.

From August 15, 1944 Lieutenant Colonel Dick A. King served as staff G-4 (Logistics & Quartering), 3rd Infantry Division, part of 7th Army in the ETO. At the end of the war elements of the 3rd ID were among the first to enter Berchtesgaden and Obersalzberg, the lofty Alpine retreat of the Nazi elite. On May 4, 1945, a 3rd Division historian recorded the chaotic scene:

(We) reached the resort town of Berchtesgaden and from there took a narrow, twisting road a few miles up to Obersalzberg, some 1,200 feet above. (We) found the French Second Armored, the first of the Free French troops to have entered Paris in 1944, already there. Nobody much cared who was first. A force of 315 British bombers had already pulverized much of the Nazi compound and had left the Berghof a shell. But truckloads of loot were still to be had, especially wine from the cellars of Field Marshal Hermann Goring, creator of Nazi air power, who had built himself a handsome vacation house near the Berghof...

Almost certainly Lt. Colonel King "liberated" the abandoned Mauser sporting rifle during the division's brief stay in Obersalzberg, never having met its infamous owner, Reichsmarschall G”ring. Several days later on May 8, 1945, Goring and his caravan would surrender near Radstadt, Bavaria to a flying column led by Brigadier General Robert I. Stack, assistant commander of the 36th Infantry Division.

Dick A. King was born in El Paso, Colorado in February 1910 and graduated from the Colorado Agricultural College in Fort Collins in 1932. In September 1940 he joined the army, was commissioned, and assigned to the transportation corps. During European operations he served as lieutenant colonel on the staff of the 3rd Infantry Division upon its arrival in France in August 1944. Colonel King remained in the army until retiring in July 1963. He was awarded the Legion of Merit (Second Oak Leaf Cluster) on August 9, 1963 (GO 37). Colonel King died in June 1989.
