Hi Folks,
trying to identify what i believe is a possible custom Adolph rifle. This gun has been handed down in the family. It originates from the Adirondack NY area. Family story is said that this rifle was a custom prize that was one in a shooting competition (Fair). This is a bolt action Mauser rifle. The bolt has engraved what i believe is the serial number 4517. on the barrel is stamped "Germany". There is also and engraving on the barrel that reads " The Adolph Mauser 250 / 3000 Savage". I believe this rifle is a custom rifle fitted with a bolt action mauser chambered in a 250 / 3000 Savage. The rifle has classic stock Adolph carvings. The barrel and double trigger area has classic engravings as well (animals). Also has a scope. Curious if anybody can identify this rifle s/n or possible history behind it?

Not sure if this is the best or easy way to do it. But I upload the picture to https://imgur.com/ once the pictures are uploaded you can click the 3 dot icons next to "copy link" on the top right of the picture. copy and paste the "BBcode" url into a post here and it will post a picture in the thread.

I hope this is helpful.

Thats as Adolph as they get! Great rifle. The pictures of the trigger guard are a little blurry for me, is that a fox chasing a bird?

The serial number is the original Mauser number, not an Adolph number.

Thank you!

I will need to get better / clearer pictures to post.

I will also try and identify additional markings and or serial numbers.

Trying to track down the history of this rifle.

I plan to obtain copies of the following resources.

Fred Adolph Modern Guns c1914, Genoa, New York

Very nice, Thanks for sharing.
