If those inlays are ivory, the buyer will have some potential grief with the feds.

Inlays of that type are often bone.

Even if they are ivory, given the age of that gun I doubt there will be any problems.

You have to wonder who it was "presented" to, given its date of mfg. 1949? Perhaps to some highly placed Communist Party official...Certainly not to a member of the Proletariat...


I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.

That pretty much depends on who you define as "proletariat". These guns were mostly given - when they were "presented" - to officers of about the rank of colonel. Given 4 years of war, most of these colonels started war as leutenants or even privates, and originally came from peasant or working class families.

I have acquired a taste for these Teutonic pieces. Like stout it is an acquired taste. These are both beautiful guns. I have Miroku 20 ga some great wood carver put this kind of carving on the buttstock. I bought it for a pittance because it was not original. Shoots nicely too.
