German "Geha" Mauser Shotgun
|
DESCRIPTION: German 16 gauge "Geha" Mauser shotgun. "Geha" shotguns were converted from Gew. 98 Mauser rifles after the World War One. Similar shotguns were made from surplus Mausers by several German makers that could not manufacture military rifles at the time, because of the Versailles Treaty restrictions. Several parts of the shotgun came from Gew. 98 (receiver, bolt, trigger guard, magazine floor plate etc.). The walnut stock also came from Gew.98, but it was shortened to the sporting style half-stock configuration. Both sides of the buttstock display "Geha" medallions. 26 inch long round barrel. The two-shot shotgun utilizes strong 1898 action with a new bolt head. Several German commercial proof and maker marks are stamped on the receiver, barrel and bolt. Matching serial numbers (stamped on the receiver and bolt only). Internal box magazine for one shell. Fixed European shotgun style front and rear sights. Steel trigger guard and buttplate. Mauser style safety lever is located on the back of the bolt. Turned down bolt handle. Original Gew.98 sling swivel is still under the buttstock. Overall length is 45 inch. The barrel length is 26 inch. CONDITION: Fine. 92% of blue finish is still on metal. Most of the wear is on trigger guard, magazine floorplate, as well as on sharp edges of some other steel parts. Some blue finish is turning to brownish color. The buttplate shows some brown patina. Excellent, mirror like bore. Strong and smooth action. Mechanically the shotgun is in perfect condition. All the internal parts of the shotgun are in excellent condition, with no visible wear. The stock shows some handling marks and light scratches. No cracks in wood. Some wear to wood near the buttplate. The buttplate may have been replaced long time ago, as it does not fit the stock perfectly. Nice example of German Mauser shotgun. Serial# 15XX. |
