--------------------------------------------------------------------------We've had a couple of good posts about the Jarmann sporters, but the search feature on Gunboards is being recalcitrant and not searching for me. It seems that rudybolla and Ken and posted some things about them, so if you fine fellows read this chime in.
The scans below are from original photographs of a Jarmann sporter built in Christiana(Oslo), Norway by L.H.Hagen & Co. The material came to me bound in a folder, almost like a prospectus for sale of the rifle. Unfortunately there are no dates, but my semi-educated guess is that these documents date to the early 1950s and possibly earlier.
This is a really handsome rifle. Note the horn wrist grip and the sights. The sights most certainly aren't the military issue. The rifle was built on a m/1884-87 Jarmann if I'm not mistaken. It has the magazine cut off on the left side of the receiver. No indication of magazine modifications as the full stock covers that area of the rifle.
Photos coming soon.
