CONDITION: Excellent as a L.D. Nimschke masterpiece.
The barrel and magazine tube retain 90% plus
original blue finish with thinning to brown on the
balance. The receiver retains 95% plus untouched
original nickel plating and retains a crisp engraving.
The forend cap, lever, and buttplate retain 95% of the
nickel plating. Patterns of original case colors remain
on the hammer. The wood is very fine with minor
dings and scratches, most of the original varnish
remaining, and mostly crisp checkering. Mechanically
excellent. A wonderful, high condition example of
a rare Nimschke masterpiece well-deserving of a
prominent place in the finest collection.
Estimate: 45,000 - 80,000
