hello fuhrmann
its all correctly and I have never had a 9,3x57R mauser in my hands till now but the 1926 Steigleder list have this round on paper: 9,3x57 without and with rim - ohne und mit Rand
...
there are some 9,3x57 mauser rifles from suhl coming to surface now and there can be no doubt that when a swedish baron have order a double rifle before ww2, suhl delievered this
german designation for cartridges based on express cartridge cases is simple: 9,3x57R 360( the last is the mother case)
Hello Lancaster,
you are right - one should never say "Never" with these old cartridges.
But still, a rimmed 9.3x57R "Mauser" would be really rare!
Remember the excerpt from the Burgsmueller 1927 catalog that you sent me some time ago?
It lists a "9.3x57 mit Rand", ballistics clearly in the "Mauser range".
At that time I thought this was a printing error.
But then, there is also a "9,3x62 mit Rand - ohne Rand". Who knows, another rare bird?
