Provenance: The vendor has kindly informed us that he inherited the rifle from his father in the early 1990's. Family tradition has it that his Father acquired the rifle during the Second World War whilst an active member of the Danish resistance. Sadly no details of the exact method or location of the rifle's 'acquisition' were ever talked about, but the vendor remembers that his father also had a pair of fine German riding boots (which fitted no-one in the family) and a Nazi dress dagger (also not subject to discussion as to where and how they came into his possession).
