Hey y'all!
I just picked up my FIRST Mauser last week. I love her. She is just awesome.
Anyway... I was hoping that you all could help me with understanding the stamped markings on the rifle. I keep finding basic things on the internet like "that's a proof stamp", but I would LOVE more specific info (if a particular stamp means something specific about a particular place, or the material used, etc). Is there a way to tell when this rifle was built? Or at least the receiver, as I'm sure the parts are from all over the place.
I really appreciate your help. Learning about what these marks actually are, what they represented, etc... is a huge thing for me. The THR crew has NEVER let me down. I don't expect you to now!! Please check out the pictures and if you could be as specific as possible about which picture you're referring to, which marking in that photo, etc... I would GREATLY appreciate it!!
Thank you!
