Schiwy ART M98

Schiwy ART M98
The Schiwy ART M98 is a striking expression of artistic enhancement, transforming an original Mauser M98 Jubiläumsmodell (1898–1998) into a richly adorned safari rifle in .416 Rigby. Meticulously overhauled by Schiwy, this rare edition features a barrel wrapped in stylized giraffe-skin engraving with the African Big Five in gold inlay, complemented by a bold crocodile relief—elevating the firearm into a narrative of the wild. Its Turkish walnut stock retains classic form, framing the engraving like a museum piece. More than a rifle, the ART M98 stands as a testament to the atelier’s ability to elevate even existing works into masterpieces rooted in heritage and extraordinary craftsmanship.
