I have purchased (not received yet) a Geco Mauser in 8x57, in the pics. on the sale site it looks to be a fairly well made gun on a small ring 98 Mauser (which surprised me). I have since established that Geco was / is a retailer? in Hamburg Germany and the gun was in all likely hood produced in Suhl. Any further info. / comments /?s would be appreciated. --- John303.
