Yesterday the local ironmonger called and told med that he had put an anonymous 9 mm Mauser aside for me. I went there today and had a look. It was a simple small ring Muser without any factory markings. It had german control stamps, and I dated it to 1924. Very thin barrel with astoningshly round crown. Solderd bases for sights, front bead and double blade folding rear sight. Action without any engraving, standard military handle, standard military floor plate and double set trigger. Nice thin stock i neutral wood with round butt pistolgrip, steel back plate and swivel loops. 40 RWS cartridges (18,3 grammes/ 290 grs) in pre-war boxes.
Price 500 SEK, i.e. 60$.
Worth buying or not?
