I use the "Plezier rifle" as a word for a DWM sporter that was send as some kind of gift or corruption with military rifles. they do it for being in good memory some day when another order have to place. so the south american rifles are in this meaning also "Plezier rifles" like mauser is a bolt action or colt is a revolver. I see that they have not allways the same level of quality the original south african Plezier mauser had. it is obvious that DWM know exactly what to do and build the south african rifles exactly for the taste of a Boer.
That's wrong IMHO. "Plezier Mauser" is not a generic term for all those "Army Hunting" rifles built as gifts to accompany foreign orders, but a very specific name for the one type made for the Boers in South Africa, a M93 action with a long, octagonal barrel. Alas, "Plezier" is the Afrikaans spelling of "pleasure" (English), „plaisir“ (French), “Pläsier“ (German). So the spelling “Plezier” was never used by Spanish- or English speaking customers, let alone Germans at DWM or Mauser.
