Hi all,
I got lucky on GunBroker and found a 1926 Zeithan built rifle for a "buy it now". I received the rifle today and disassembled to snap some pictures. I was excited to share, as I think most of these have been less than complete.
The rifle is mostly matching except the bolt , floorplate and follower (match themselves #42) and the rear sight slider/button appears to be an armorer spare has a faint droop e/63 and no SN.
The rifle is not import marked and still has a pretty decent finish on it. The bore is also dusty, but has pretty sharp rifling, so likely didn't see much action.
The stock cartouches are visible, but have puffed out due to moisture. They appear to be the same as those shown in Vol. 1 of k98k.
I tried to capture the barrel markings as best as I could, but they are a bit faint.
I'll let the pictures do the talking now:
