This is not a pre-war custom but I had a chance to take some quick shots and thought it would pick up the traffic around here. It belongs to a hunting partner who has shot it but never hunted it. He's an addicted gun trader, some day it may be available if something he likes better shows up.

Just a nice little 7x57, no bells and whistles but looks well made and carries very well. Typical Teutonic preference to strength of grain flow over figure in the stock. I'd change out the scope and mounts, right now it wears a Nikon 1-5x20 in Weaver rings. Maybe put a front sight on for use with a back/up peep.

I imagine Mr. Jaeger lined up his screw slots and that they have all loosened over time.

Perhaps others could elaborate on how much of the work on this gun was just stock parts they used from their manufacturing business?
