Blasphemy.............:)

All of my books are packed up for the move, so had to rely on a internet search for photos.
Seems I was a bit wrong, the " '93 Spanish" action doesn't have a thumb cut, thou the later 1916 issue (still the smaller pre-98) does as well as all later type M98 actions used.

I like the well "rounded" floorplate of the 93 as opposed to the latter 94, 95 and 96's which are of the "flatter" design used well into the last stages of the M98
