Hello,
I was given a Mauser by Grandfather about 15 or so years ago, and since his passing (over Memorial Weekend) I got it out to try and have it restored (one of those things I never got to). I have posted some picks on another site to try and gather some information and the people there were helpful and I learned alot. I was able to gather where the rifle was made but would still like to know what some of the other symbols/markings mean. I don't think the rifle is rare or special but since I got it out again and have been getting into the history of some rifles, its quickly becoming a favroite hobby. My first question is should I post the pics of this rifle as they show the full serial number. I have been poking around and see that many people blur out the serial numbers or omit the full number. Should I blur these out before I post them? I appreciate any help.
Thanks!
