"Manufactured between 1907 and 1925, the heart of the arm is a Mauser bolt action receiver and buttstock, with the rifle barrel outfitted with a ramp bead front sight, a two leaf rear sight, "crown/N" and "172/28" on the lower left chamber flat, and a contoured rib addressed "DEUTSCHE WAFFENFABRIK, GEORG KNAAK, BERLIN S.W. 48". On the underside, connected with a hinged barrel band at the muzzle and a lightly engraved casehardened frame at the rear, is a single shotgun barrel, which swings to the right for loading via a horn under lever, with a small manual extractor and a checkered forearm. The receiver is casehardened and lightly engraved, with "2,67g G.B.P./m.g." on the left side, textured receiver rings, and a scene of two doe on the floor plate. The checkered long spur shotgun hammer is tucked into the left side of the upper tang, partially covered by the rifle safety, and inside the guard are two triggers, one single set rifle trigger in front and a standard shotgun trigger in back. The checkered pistol grip stock is grooved on the right side to ease shell loading, with a black plastic grip cap, raised cheekpiece, an engraved trapdoor on the underside covering an empty compartment, and a serrated buttplate. Shotgun barrel measurements: Bore diameter at 9 inches from breech: .660, wall thickness at 9 inches: 0.10, muzzle constriction: approximately .02 (modified). Stock measurements: Length of pull is 13 inches from the shotgun trigger, with a drop of 1 3/8 inches at the front of the comb, 1 1/8 at the rear of the comb, and 2 1/4 inches at the heel. Overall weight: 9 pounds 15.6 ounces."

doesn't look as if it's been used much. I've learned to never say "never" in dealing with firearms. Too much weird stuff out there. I wonder who made it.

Now THAT is crazy! Who'd have thought?

Marks and barks ahead of the trigger guard. Scratch on the right side below the extractor. Crack ahead of the front guard screw.

Might have been carried a bit.

Seems a slightly tight 16 bore according to the measurement.

Now to watch the vid.

What is the white line between the receiver/action and barrels?

Looks like day light or the background? Looks like a distinct gap? Or a spacer of some sort?

Maybe just a reflection like the one on the cheek piece? Glad you have found your dream Mauser Lancaster. Think I will keep looking.

G'Day Fella's,

NitroX, as Claydog mentions, it appears to be a reflection off the radiused surface/s (on both sides), just forward of the receiver ring.
Have a look at the image of the floor plate, and you can see same these radii.
Also, the same gap/reflection you mention but on the RHS, has an interruption in it (toward the bottom), which appears to be the Shotgun barrel's latch etc.

Regards
Homer

This is an interesting rifle, certainly pracical but not exactly a beauty queen.
I wonder if this one has been restocked.
Greetings fuhrmann

These used to be regularly featured in the Frankonia Jagd catalogues.

Great video. Looks like it sold for $5462.50 us dollars. Probably not a bad price for a one of a kind item if one has money to burn.

There's a Waffen Frankonia similar to this one on GunBroker around the same price. Been there for months.
