TURKISH ANKARA Antique GEWEHR Model 88 Bolt Action 8mm Caliber MAUSER Rifle Turkish Rework of a Model 1888 COMMISSION RIFLE
Description: TURKISH ANKARA Antique GEWEHR Model 88 Bolt Action 8mm Caliber MAUSER Rifle Turkish Rework of a Model 1888 COMMISSION RIFLE Here we present an antique Turkish Ankara Gewehr Model 88 Bolt Action Rifle, also referred to as the Model 88 Commission Rifle, made circa the 1890s in Berlin, Germany with a production run between 1888 and 1899 and reworked at Ankara circa 1941. The Gewehr 88 was a late 19th-century German bolt action rifle, adopted in 1888. The invention of smokeless powder in the late 19th century immediately rendered all of the large-bore black powder rifles then in use obsolete. To keep pace with the French, who had adopted smokeless powder "small bore" ammunition for their Lebel Model 1886 rifle, the Germans adopted the Gewehr 88 using its own new M/88 cartridge, which was also designed by the German Rifle Commission. The rifle was one of many weapons in the arms race between the Germanic states and France, and with Europe in general. There were also two carbine versions, the Karabiner 88 for mounted troops and the Gewehr 91 for artillery. Later models provided for loading with stripper clips and went on to serve in World War I to a limited degree. Unlike many German service rifles before and after, it was not developed by Mauser, but rather the arms commission, and Mauser was one of the few major arms manufacturers in Germany that did not produce Gewehr 88s. The overall condition is good. Excellent action. This example is bright and rifled. Solid stock. A small tow crack is present in the buttstock that remains stable. Mixed numbers. Legible markings. “1941” dated. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 29-1/2 inches. Caliber: 8mm Mauser Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1150 #230458 SOLD Curio/Relic: Yes |
