Crusty's Carl Grundig

Some photos of my Grundig rifle, not as tidy as Podewils example, but almost identical. The engraving does not look as deep in the photos, but the engraving is very dark, maybe blued, so does not stand out as well.

My photos were taken inside, so not as nice as Podewils photos.



The proof marks are crown over V, U, R & G




The butt plate is a hard rubber with no engraving



Nice engraved trigger guard




The rifle looks grubby, I have done nothing to it since purchase. I need to make a new mainspring for the left lock as the original is broken. The hammers are not original and hit the action below the firing pins. I guess I will have to try and find or make some new hammers.

The bores are marked as 47 & 48 bore and are Henry style rifling but eight groove, not 7 or 9 as usual.
