Early Mauser Oberndorf takedown by Dickson and Sons
|
Hello, everyone:
I just purchased this interesting rifle, which appears to be a very early takedown conversion by Dickson and Sons of Edinburgh.
I mainly collect original Mauser sporting rifles and have little familiarity with these. The caliber is not marked but appears to be smaller then 30.06. The receiver is marked Waffenfabrik Mauser Oberndorf a/N 1900.
The serial is 26xx in a commercial fashion with Crown/B, Crown/U and Crown/V on the receiver and Crown/V and two unknown crown proofs on the left barrel shank.
Is this an original commercial Mauser action?
Was the original barrel used in the conversion or a custom barrel added by Dickson?(the barrel shank has the same serial and the same font as the receiver serial)
Finally, most takedowns made by Dickson appear to be Mannlichers?
Are the Mauser conversions more uncommon?
What is the number on top of the barrel? It is different from the gun’s serial.
Is the number on the trigger guard a Dickson applied serial?
Any comments are welcome!
Thank you!
