Recently, as we took over for the old unit, I saw a rifle hanging on the wall apparently some sort of trophy. I recognized it immediately as a Mauser. Unfortunately, our Commander didn't like it so it was turned in to be destroyed before I got to look at it up close.
It looked like it could have been a turkish mauser, but does anyone know if Iraq ever used Mausers? The country is littered with ordnance and weapons from various times, but I wasn't aware of Iraq ever using Mausers. Once again, I didn't get to look up close but I assumed it was 8mm. If anyone knows anything about Iraqi use of Mausers, it would be interesting to hear what you know.
