I've got an old Mauser I received as a gift when I lived in Europe loooong ago, and have recently begun getting it back into working order.
Everything looks to be in sound shape except for the barrel, which was cross-drilled and filled with lead (probably as a decommissioning after WWII?). I had a gun smith remove the barrel from the receiver.
I'd like to replace the barrel and am hoping someone can point me in the right direction as my knowledge about these kinds of guns is limited at best.
It's got the serial number F124XX stamped on almost all parts - the barrel had some additional information stamped: 111B, 8x571S, & 39E7.
The receiver also has a fairly elaborate shield amid leaves with what looks like a small banner underneath as part of the design. Beneath that is stamped 1941 (build year?)
The manufacturer is stamped on the side of the receiver: "Mauser-Werke A.G. Oberndorf a.N." and there are numerous stampings of the eagle above the swastika.
