Re: Plezier Mauser
|
Hello kuduae,
In Argentina the Armed Forces Mauser, both M1891 and 1909 were 7,65x53 Mauser (by the way THE FIRST really Mauser designed smokeless powder cartridge and modern even by actual standards...). Not the 7x57 that was very little known here. I will try to find the pictures of my friendīs DWM Army Sporter, also in 7x57, but made with a 1898 Mauser Action with the same magazine floor plate as the Argentine 1909 Mauser, but with original double trigger made as part of the magazine as in the Original Sporting Mausers. I think these DWM sporters we find here in Argentina came from another source than the "official gifts" made with the shipment of the militay contracts...
Thank you for the Proof Mark information!
