This 458 Lott was actually owned by Jack Lott. Documentation to such is provided by Lon Paul's letter below.
The Mauser '98 action was made by Mauser at Oberndorf and has had a single square bridge added. The quarter rib is hand engraved with the caliber, and the top surface is nicely stippled - as is the front sight ramp. Barrel banded swivel, drop-box magazine (case colored), steel grip cap (case colored) and an exhibition piece of birds eye maple round out this classic piece.
If you're in the market for an "English" style stopping rifle, here it is.
