I have a bud that is showing me his newest acquisition he got from his granpa: a spanish (Oviedo made) mauser.
Can anyone help on the history/ value (if any of this beauty?)
-Mauser action, 7x57mm
-chrome-plated turned-down bolt handle (probably not original, discrepancy in s/n)
-flip-up ladder-type rear sight, graduated from 500 to 1400 meters
-saddle-ring(?) or sling attachment about 1 1/4" wide on LH side of stock
- straight stock without provision for cleaning rod
-top of receiver stamped in front of action with a crown, surrounded with "Fabrica de armas Oviedo 1912", various proof marks on barrel and receiver.
-3-step tapered barrel, 18" in lenght
-all s/n match but the bolt, 80-85% blue, good stock with a few handling marks.
Any info? Thanx!
