Very Germanic looking, to me. Carving, forend key, butt shape and checkering, sling, barrel...
Great rifle, too bad about the cartridge.

What is the purpose of the screw through the serial number? A takedown of some kind?

It is definitely Germanic looking but the proportions look odd even so. Very very heavy butt stock and then everything in front of the receiver looks spindly in comparison. I wonder how it balances in the hand?
I wonder if the proportions are screwed up by the photography somehow?

Maybe a dealer bought it and we will see it for sale in the near future.
I hope someone did not buy it for the engraved action and takes it apart to "Restore".
I'm not sure if I should say anything about the rifle at this point or just wait and see.

Certainly, I would be curious about what is interesting about that particular rifle. Why should you NOT say something? Honest opinion and knowledge is always interesting and justifiable.
The checkering/carving looks pretty unique yet familiar. The rest of the rifle is a bit "off" to me, but then we all know that is just me.

I rather like it, but as stated earlier the caliber would have been the deal breaker.
