From the owner:
Number (2) Gew-88/14 S Infantry Commission Rifle chambered in 8mm Mauser Made
By the Amberg Arsenal in 1890 This gun was converted by the German Army before
WW1 to accept the new Spitzer bullet and cartridge adopted in 1898, it then saw service
in WW1 with Germany and then later with the Ottoman Empire in Turkey. The gun has
been to the range many times and runs beautifully, the bore is good, the head space
was checked and is within safe specs, the gun is in excellent overall condition being
very original minus the leather strap.
