Item Details
High Estimate3000
Low Estimate2000
serial #8714, 275 Mauser (7mm Mauser), 20" barrel with a bright excellent bore. This handsome rifle is in truly fantastic condition. The metal surfaces retain 98% restored satin blue finish with a light handling mark here or there and some minor wear on the bolt body and handle; the claw extractor and races are honed bright. The barrel is maker marked "CHARLES LANCASTER. 151 NEW BOND ST LONDON. W." along the top. The checkered round knob classic style English walnut buttstock features a nice horn forend tip, checkered panels at the grip with a wrap-around forearm pattern, all neatly chased with mullered borders; a shepard's crook style sling eyelet is mounted on the toe line with a matching stud soldered to the underside of the barrel. The stock rates excellent as refinished showing some minor scattered dings and blemishes. At some point, the wrist appears to have cracked completely through and shows two tiny cracks on either side of the lower tang and a single crack at the top of the wrist at the receiver. A small repaired oval section on the wrist indicates there is most likely a screw holding the wrist together; the wrist does not flex and has been effectively repaired. There is a small crack beginning at the rear of the upper tang, in a small squarish repair that likely replaced a missing chip or flake. The length of pull to the plain steel buttplate is 14 1/2". Featured is a tuned single trigger, bead front sight and 3 leaf express rear sight, one standing two folding with platinum index lines. This rifle is outfitted with a one piece receiver scope mount with a Lyman Alaskan 2 1/2x scope with very good optics and post and crosshair reticle. Overall a beautiful British Mauser sporting rifle that would be sure to hold its own on the range or afield. (156520-2786) {C&R} [Richard "Stretch" Kennedy Collection]

The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer shall become the owner upon the fall of the hammer. The auctioneer has sole discretion in the case of a dispute among bidders.

GUIDELINES FOR FIREARM PURCHASES
All Federal, State and Local firearms laws will be observed. FFL holders may take possession of any firearm on day of sale when they present a signed copy of their Federal Firearms License. New Hampshire residents over the age of 21 may take possession of any firearm on day of sale providing the proper paperwork is filled out and the transfer has been approved either through the NH State Police or the FBI NICS System.

Bidders without prior credit approval are required to submit a 20% deposit prior to bids being accepted (credit cards may be used for absentee deposits). Absentee bids will be bid in a competitive manner and an absentee bidder needs only to outbid another buyer i.e. bidding will not be opened at the maximum bid unless that is the next competitive bid. Buyer is responsible for any and all shipping charges.
Amoskeag Auction Co., Inc. will not be held responsible for errors or omissions of any type that may occur during this service.
All absentee bids must be received by 8:00pm on the day prior to the auction. If you plan to attend the sale but will not be staying until the end and want to leave a bid on an item that will be sold after you leave, we must have those bids in by 9:00am on the morning of the sale. No bids will be accepted after that time. Please do not call the gallery once the auction has started (after 10:00am) as we will not be able to accept bids or make changes to bids.
Amoskeag Auction Company, Inc. will also accept telephone bids on a limited basis. Telephone bidding is reserved for seriously interested bidders. In order to bid by telephone, the bidder must be willing to pay at least the low estimate of the item being bid on.
