Historical significance and provenance
Serial number 25840, dated circa 1938–1943, this rifle is recorded as belonging to Herman Goering, a leading figure in Germany during World War II. The piece is historically notable not only for provenance but for the personalized engraving and the Goering crest on the bottom of the trigger guard — a raised armored forearm holding a ring — a marking associated with rifles made for him. The rifle’s condition is described as excellent, which enhances its value for serious collectors. View product details and pricing
Mechanicals and distinctive features
This Steyr Mannlicher Schoenauer features an 18″ barrel chambered in 6,5 x 54, a classic continental hunting caliber. The rifle is spectacularly engraved and includes two practical hunting-era adaptations: a fold-out spike on the forward Mannlicher stock on each side (used historically to stabilize the rifle against trees while stalking game) and an adjustable spring-loaded comb that allows the shooter to transition between iron sight use and scoped mounting. These features appear on other rifles documented as Goering-owned and underline the rifle’s function-driven bespoke nature.
Caliber performance and practical notes
The 6,5 x 54 cartridge provides modest recoil with a high ballistic coefficient common to 6.5mm rounds, making it appropriate historically for medium game and precision shooting at practical hunting distances. For collectors, the caliber increases interpretive value when discussing interwar and WWII-era European sporting arms.
Priced at $59,500.99, this rifle is targeted at advanced collectors and institutions that prioritize documented provenance and unique original features. Check current availability on our shop page to confirm status and to view additional photos and acquisition details. Check current availability
