Re: M4220's Heinrich Scherping 8x57JS made in 1924

I recently aqquired #3206 8x57JS which was built with far less embelishments than # 3203 8x60S, Note: 1/4 rib not full length, no forend wedge, no cartridge trap, less extensive engraving, this
was also probally reflected in the price when purchased and attributes to the much heavier use seen by #3206. The part that facinates me more than any other factor is that these 2 rifles once again stand together in a gun rack after 80+ years and half a world away. As time allows I will do some
restoration work to bring this rifle back to it's former glory, but until then, I can't wait to take it into the field!!!
