Hi Everyone!
This is truly an extensiv thread. I've read a lot, but not all of it.
The year of my Carl Gustafs is not particulary mentioned. I got it only last Saturday and I didn't pay much for it. No idea what it would be worth.
On top of the chamber is stamped:
CARL GUSTAFS STADS
GEVARSFAKTORI.
1919
above it has the crown and... something like a moon cresent with a... fancy letter..., may be a "T" or the number "1", inside the cresent.
On the left, just behind the chamber is the serial number, 462781 , it has H.K. stamped in front of it.
The bolt, the bottom plate and everything else has the matching numbers (781).
The shoulder strap just about seems original. It is pretty worn and has a crack too.
The brass medal/coin on the right of the stock says on the outer circle:
"Overslag" and than there is a "punch mark". On the other half of the outer circle it says:
"2345", than a little separate is the number "2" stamped in.
On the inner circle it says "Torpedgm". On the other half of the inner circle it says:
"901" with a "Punch mark" above the 0 (zero). And again separate the number "1", but also with a "punch mark" above this number 1.
The rifleing in the bore is in good to very good shape.
Unfortunately someone has shortened the stock, I was told.
It looks good and the job was done very neat.
And the last downturn, the butt at the bottom of the stock is missing.
I would appreciate, if someone could give me a rough idea of the value of this Swedish Mauser here in North America/Canada.
Also, it would be great, if someone could point me in the right direction, where I may be able to find the butt for the stock.
Thanks in advance for all your advise and support!
