Krupp barrel steel with old Viennese proof, engraved on the side with „K. u. K. Kammer Gewehrlieferanten“ and „Joh.

Unfortunately, no more precise information is available from the time. In any case, an interestingly designed hunting weapon in the style of an Ischler Stutzen, adapted from the imperial era and made for a member of the nobility at the time. Beautifully restored and extremely well preserved apart from small areas. Small part in the forearm loose (screw no longer holds) and the lever itself without hardening paint. A wonderful opportunity to purchase a traditional rifle with a full stock, which has been gradually brought into the modern era (looks/assembly) and is ideal for hunting.
