George Gibbs, GEW 98 Gibbs Sporter, CAL:.256 Gibbs Mag, MFG: Action 1898-1918, SN: B6751, Custom Bolt Action Rifle, 26'' barrel. The rifle was likely made in the late 1910's or 20's after the Gibbs 256 cartridge was invented in 1913. The checkered & capped pistol grip wood stock is very good, despite a toe brake, which required a professional quality repair, to include a 6.5'' wood splice at toe & along belly of the stock, which was excellently matched to the original wood. There are other minor scrapes, rubs, contusions & wear to the to the finish. The metal blue finish rates 95% overall. The top of the barrel is engraved ''George Gibbs Bristol & 35 Sevile Row. London. W.'' The bell of the barrel is engraved ''For Use With Gibbs 256 Magnum Cartridge Only'', with ''Nitroproved'' & Imperial German stampings on the left side of barrel. Bore is excellent. The barrel carries an express type rear sight, with a forward fixed ''V'' & two folding leaf's behind it marked ''100. 200, & 300'' respectively. The front sight is a small blade atop a tall platform. Stock carries a plastic buttplate, with some cracking & flaking in the toe area. Sling provisions in the stock & underside of barrel. FFL or C&R Req. - Value: 500 to 1500
