Loewe Berlin Model 1888 Commission Rifle - Gew 88 "S" 8mm Mauser Rifle (7.92x57mm).
Good condition German Rifle (Gewehr modell 1888) was supplied to the Ottoman Empire (Turkey) during WWI.
The Gew.88 rifle is often erroneously referred to as "Mauser" or "Mannlicher", but in fact it is neither. Its bolt is a more or less indigenous design by German gunsmith Schlegelmilch.
In Germany, service life of the Gew.88 as a primary infantry rifle was relatively short. After just 10 years of service it was officially replaced with the Mauser-designed Gew.98 – one of the best bolt action rifles of its time.
This rifle has very smooth bolt action, good rifling, and though I'm no expert, a clean and reasonably bright bore.
