And one like the rifle that Don missed - from Dorleac
#149443 - 04/01/10 01:41 PM

I have an e-mail with pictures of a rifle sold by Dorleac and Dorleac in France recently which was sold recently by them in an unfired condition. M. Joel Dorleac, who heads the company, writes:

Hello Mehul,

About the very special one-of-a-kind Mauser that was auctioned off at RIA earlier and that Don missed, please have a look at another one of the same type we have sold that year.
That rifle was in near new condition and appeared to have never been fired.
The Dr. Gerard scope was fitted on special first type Oberndorf claw mounts who seemed to have been specially built for that optic.
Enjoy…and wait for my next mail.

Kind regards.

Here's happy viewing of the pictures of this very unique rifle with a promise of another batch of similarly exquisite pics of another rare Mauser to follow:

Pre-WW1 Mausers in this condition are few and far between. Beautiful. Thanks for posting.

Amazing condition. It looks like it just popped out the back door of the factory.

Jaw dropping stunning

Mehul,

Just curious, do you know what the chambering is and how much it sold for?

Buchseman,

Sorry - no idea what it cost. I have some more pictures of other fine old Mausers which I shall post shortly. All courtesy M. Dorleac.

Best wishes and Good Hunting!
