There are no cracks or losses. There are stock cartouches behind the trigger guard, though these are a bit light.

Bore Condition: The bore is slightly gray and the rifling is sharp. There is some erosion the full length of the barrel. This barrel can be shot and will likely improve with some elbow grease.
Overall Condition: This gun retains about 75% of its metal finish. The balance of the finish shows finish loss on the top of the barrel, about 3” in front of the receiver ring, and on the top of the receiver ring. The remaining blue is deep in color with few flaws. Please see photos. The screw heads are sharp and undamaged. The markings are clear. Overall, this gun rates in about very good condition.
Mechanics: The action is not functional. THERE IS NO BOLT.
Box, Paperwork & Accessories: None
Our Assessment: This is one of the nicest condition 1891 Mausers that we have seen, too bad the bolt is missing. The bore will improve. With some effort and a new bolt, this will make a great shooter. This action is often sought for re-barreling as well. It is strong and it is an antique.
CA Legal or CA Private Party Transferable: This rifle can be sold to anyone 18 years of age, and is classified as an antique.
