Loewe Berlin, Model: 88/05, Cal: 7.92x57mm, MFG: 1890, S/N: 83641, Bolt Action Rifle, 29 1/4'' Barrel. The straight wrist wooden stock is very good with scratches/dents & wear from use & age, two ''O'' stamps on bottom of stock one Infront of the magazine floorplate & one behind the rear barrel band offset to the right a 1/2''. Metal has toned to a even brown patina, left side of receiver is marked with S/N, ''GEW.88'', ''P'', ''4'', top of receiver is marked with, ''S'' over Crescent moon, ''LOEWE BERLIN'', ''1890'' & proof marks, Left side of barrel is marked with S/N, bottom of magazine floorplate is marked with symbol & ''1914'', bolt has Turkish markings on it & S/N on bolt is in Turkish & appears to read ''217'' which makes it a S/N mismatched bolt, left side of rear sight base is marked, ''7.93'', left side of rear barrel band is marked, ''45.R.2.118'' which is a unit marking to where this rifle was issued to in the German military. Bore is good, light roughness in spots, turning dark, & with lightly worn rifling near muzzle. Barleycorn front sight, V-notch ladder rear sight that's marked in Turkish which reads ''5'' to ''20'' . Metal buttplate worn to a gun metal gray with spots of light rust. Bottom sling swivels, has cleaning rod. This rifle has Turkish markings & with the receiver being blued that shows it was given to the Ottomans sometime during WW1. When these guns were updated to the 88/05 pattern they changed the chambers to the updated cartridge dimensions but did not change the barrel, the original round was smaller then the newer round which is what is found today, we recommend getting the bore checked & only hand loading ammo for these rifles with the proper bore dimensions, they are not know to blow up using the bigger sized bullet but will wear out the barrels considerably faster & is not recommended, & the action is not as strong as later designs & is not recommended to fire higher pressure loads through this rifle. Antique No FFL Req. - Value: 300 to 600
