Description from HiBid
This historic Spandau-produced Gewehr 88, often referred to as the Commission Rifle, represents a pivotal period in German military firearms development. Chambered for 7.92x57mm and featuring a 29-inch barrel with a shiny bore, this rifle remains in good condition and displays numerous collector-desirable characteristics. The barrel is marked with the coveted "S" designation, indicating compatibility with updated 8x57JS ammunition. Adding significant historical appeal, the buttplate is marked "16 J," indicating issue to the 16th Infantry Regiment headquartered in Cologne during World War I. Matching serial numbers on the bolt, receiver, and barrel further enhance collector interest. Equipped with a military ladder sight and accompanied by a bayonet, this rifle offers both historical significance and visual appeal. The Gewehr 88 served as Germany's transition into the smokeless powder era and laid important groundwork for later Mauser developments, making it a must-have for serious military collectors.
