Here folks, is an interesting treat.
I have posted this on other forums, but decided to post here too!







The barrel, shroud and receiver are match. Bolt trigger guard are not!



It appears that it was slathered in white paint on all the wood at one time. There is a question on how "original" this is...

The assumption is that this is from the South American hoard. The chrome/ nickle finish would seem to indicate that it was part of the Presidential Honor Guard of that country. However, some have suggested that this was a VFW type rifle. Truly some of you folk may recall when these Chrome/ Nickel guns were on sale from a major importer.

Anywho.... the white paint actually saved some cartouches:


What is interesting is that the chrome also saved the barrel shroud, and many of the parts...






What is interesting is that the rifle has two holes drilled in the stock:



So there are several questions to ponder....
To restore... or not.... or if... how far!
Take a good look at the year, and you will note that it is an early rifle. Is it worth more as a Presidential Guard rifle, or a REAL Germanicon rifle...
