And with ejectors. It began life sometime in 1922 as what looks to be a 22WCF or 22 hornet and was rechambered to 25-35 in 1927, which would have been after standardization. Those tubes look long.
Kind Regards,

JC,
Thank you very much for posting the photos as well as the compliment. I think this G.L. RASCH deserves it.
Raimey,
Quite a caliber story isn't it. Yes, the tubes are long, for a BF, namely 70cm or 27.6". While the gun is slender and graceful (IMHO) it is not a featherweight.
With kind regards,
Jani

It looks to have "see-thru" sights on the claw mounts. With the calibre change do you think the fixed sights had to be modified at all or could the change have been addressed in the optics?
Was the stock pinned?
Kind Regards,
Raimey

Jani, did it come with the scope?
The more I look at it the more I like it.
JC
P.S.: Cropped first photo to show it better. jc

Jani,
what else you can ask? Ejectors, crossbolt, plenty of wall thicknes, scope option, double triggers, cocking indicators, safety, etc. Enjoy it next season!
Regards

Thanks to all.
Raimey, the pin (screw) in the stock looks original. Yes, one of the good qualities of claw mounts is the clearance for easy using of iron sights.
JC, unfortunately the scope is lost. But on the other hand this made the price cheap, despite the fact that bores are pristine, a rather rare occasion by guns of that age.
ejsxs, here we are in the middle of deer season already! (May 1st till October 31st for bucks, and till December 31st for does).
With kind regards,
Jani
