The first one is an early, 1907 made, well preserved condition, 8mm.S, stocked to the muzzle rifle fitted with 24" barrel, tangent sight and double set trigger. Such a rifle appears in KORN book "Mauser-Gewehre und Patente" on a reproduction of factory glass plate "Type XIIa – Blatt 2." Mauser Repetierpirschbüchse C.98/08. I shall be glad if someone knows the marks punched under the bolt lever. The two other 8x60 rifles are a 1931 made 24" barreled type B, with double set trigger and tangent sight and a 1934 made African model with 28" full octagonal barrel, single trigger and tangent sight. Nothing really special about these two rifles except they are in untouched condition with mirror bore. However, nothing less than surprising, these Mauser bear .321" (8,15) bore barrels (miked and so marked under the barrel), a dimension that falls between .318" and .323" and they shoot as well the 88 and "S" bullets. Nevertheless, the accuracy delivered with .323" bullets is stunning and there isn't the least pressure sign. Will be happy to hear your comments.
