Hi --
I am looking for history / origin for this 8mm Mauser.
It was obtained in 2002, and refinished by a friend of mine in the United States Marine Corps.
All parts, except the bolt, have the # 8223 stamped on them.
There are three funny looking "Q" symbols with a queens/kings crown on top on the bottom of the receiver, where the bolt folds down.
It has a double set trigger, that is VERY VERY light.
I've shot with Ecuadoran 8mm ammo, and it seems very accurate. I've attached many pics, and if needed, can take more.
Any help on identifying it?
THANKS!
