Mauser catalogue post not fixed yet.

Mauser Rifles in the 1939 Stoeger Catalog, Introduction

The 1939 edition of the Stoeger catalog contains nine pages (40 through 48) of Mauser Rifles and information pertaining to them. This offers a 'snapshot' of the options available to U.S. customers at the pinnacle of Mauser Werke sporting arms development and craftsmanship prior to the second world war.

By 1939 Stoeger Arms Corporation had become a major retailer of firearms in the United States. I have posted the covers (inner and outer) and introductory pages of Catalog 31 on a thread of the Mannlicher Discussion forum & Archive titled, Mannlicher Schoenauer in the 1939 Stoeger Catalog.

Here I will share pages 40 through 48 of Stoeger Catalog 31, the '1939 New York Worlds Fair Jubilee issue', which are the Mauser relevant pages.

I'll post one page per entry starting with detail views, then the full page.

We'll start with page 40 - an introductory paragraph titled "Why Genuine or Original Mauser Rifle?" followed by ten paragraphs extolling the virtues of Mauser - Werke product.
