Factory Game Scene Engraved Franz Sodia/H. Mayer Drilling with Zeiss Scope

Blued Bohler steel barrels with a beaded blade front sight, flip-up rear sight, and German claw mounts holding a Zeiss Diasta-D 6x42mm scope on the matted solid rib which is marked "A. MAYER, OBERWART.", 2 3/4 inch chamber with extractor, 1965 dated Austrian proofs, and choke constriction of .037 inches. The coin finished action displays a red stag and two hinds in forested scene on the left and a roe buck with two does in a forest on the right with the balance engraved with scrollwork. The gun features double triggers (front is a single set), bushed firing pins, side mounted barrel selector, and manual tang safety. Nicely figured, multi-point checkered forend with engraved fittings and pistol grip stock with cheekpiece, horn grip cap, and rubber recoil pad. Length of pull 13 3/4 inches. Weight 8 lbs. 10 oz. with scope.

ConditionVery good, showing 70% original blue finish and 95% plus original coin finish with scattered minor spotting, areas of slight discoloration in the coin, and overall light-mild handling evidence. The wrist has a small crack on both sides, otherwise the wood is very fine with a few small marks and sharp checkering. Scope optics are sharp. Mechanically excellent.
