| Description: |
| 7.92x57mm; 98% blue, 98% straw, very good bore, excellent stock, 23.6'' barrel, Once in a lifetime opportunity to obtain a museum quality Mauser FSLK 16 (Fleiger-16) otherwise known in English as the "Fliers Self Loading Carbine 1916". Based on the Mauser self loading rifle of 1909, the FSLK M1916 was issued in World War I for use as an aircraft borne weapon, especially for the troops defending Zeppelins. The flap locking design required lubricated cartridges, and Mauser made a single series of less than 1,000 examples. This particular rifle type was pictured in Early Aircrafts Armament by Woodman on pg 123. and was formerly part of the Henk Visser collection. All metal parts match and the weapon is Imperial Prussian proofed. Comes with orig wooden transport case which is in overall good condition, cleaning rod/jag, takedown tool, 4 orig FSLK magazines, 3 modified MG13 magazines. PROVENANCE: Collection of Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess. CONDITION: Condition of rifle itself is very fine. Bluing and straw well over 98% with only very minor edge wear, no rust or pitting. Bore very fine, chamber has thin surgical saw cut through the top handguard into the chamber per post WWI Treaty of Versailles deactivation requirements, as do all FSlK 16, skillfully preserving historical integrity of the piece. Orig magazines are serial numbered, but do not match the weapon. Stock is Mauser barrel marked and Imperial proofed. Wooden transport case is overall good condition with numerous dings, scratches and handling marks has orig key, remnants of paper contents tag, but leather handle has come apart (repairable, included inside case with all metal fittings)., s/n 54xxK |
