MAUSER 404 JEFFERY TYPE A- COMMERCIAL SINGLE SQUARE BRIDGE MAGNUM ACTION- 1930- RARE STUFF- BEST GRADE TYPE A- EXC. BORE- ORIG. GUN
https://www.gunsinternational.com/guns-f...un_id=100794739
Description:
#107359, Mauser-Werke A.-G. Oberndorf A/N.: A Commercial Mauser Sporter Type A in 404 Jeffery Made in 1930 with their #19 Magnum Mauser Single Square Bridge Action and marked in silver inlays on the barrel "Specially made for Chas. A. Heyer & Co., Nairobi", A 24” barrel, Barrel band front ramp, Barrel band sling eye, 5 leaf Type A Express Sights with 1 standing & 4 folding, Original sight protector, Correct pear shaped bolt handle, Un-cut and matted Single Square Bridge, Matted receiver ring, Straddle hinged floorplate with a center bow release, The top of the barrel cylinder is factory stamped "High Velocity", Before reaching these shores it was proofed in England, The Type A stock with very nice color and contrast and with a cheekpiece, Horn grip cap, Horn forend tip, Sling eye on the buttstock line, Wrap around point pattern checkering on both the grip and forend, 8 lbs. 8 oz., 14 3/4" LOP over a 7/8" pad with a leather face, This super piece is totally original with every serial number matching, It retains 92% original blue, The original stock finish at 94-95%, The checkering remains at 98%, The bore is excellent. This is one very nice Commercial Mauser that remains nearly as honest as it did 87 years ago. This very piece is listed in the Mauser book as a Magnum Square Bridge Model A in 404. Relative Type A, the 404 and the 250-3000 are considered the hardest chambering's to find. Several serious Mauser cranks have handled this gun and most will comment it is one of the best Magnum Action 404 they have seen relative overall condition. This is nice stuff from a classic era and it lived a guarded life in a great collection of big bores since 1983. We also have a Type A 250-3000 Kurz that is absolutely outstanding and appears unfired.
