Hi all,
Unfortunately, inherited FIL’s Mauser. No info with rifle, or backstories. I know very little about the vintage rifles, and am trying to google research, but every article I’ve found so far, is written as if the reader, is familiar with the Mausers and history, to start with.
Can someone help me figure out what model from when and where?
There is 4 digit numbers, all around the rifle, on various components, including the stock, and they all match 4374.
There are various maker or proof marks all over the rifle, mostly things that look like crowns.
On the top of the chamber on receiver, there are the stamps: 1920 over Danzig over 1916
I can take pics, but I’m not sure of what to take pics of, lol. All marks and numbers are clearly visable.
I’m not interested in value/selling…. Just what is it? Where did it come from?
Going to dust it off, clean it up, and post some pics.
