Rare Mannlicher Schönauer Model 1907
#120818 - 10/12/08 05:14 PM

Hi Marrakai,
here is an answer concerning your question of the model:
Mannlicher in Steyr was producing much more military rifles than civilian hunting rifles.When they received an order they produced not only the ordered quantity of actions - every time they produced more.
The overproduction they used for spezial orders like gifts for officer or well known hunters.
On that rare rifles original produced in Steyr at that time you will find only "STEYR and the YEAR" as you can see on my old 6,5x53 R rifle.
Johann
If you can find such a rifle you must buy immediately because they shoot extremely superb.

Nice weapon, though a Mannlicher; it is not a Mannlicher-Schoenauer. The M/S has the Otto Schoenauer rotary magazine.
This would be one for a rimmed cartridge in a clip, the 6.5x53R as you mentioned, likely a Dutch contract over-run gun, or a true commercial, though the picture doesn't allow for that much ID.

Here's a couple of photos of one I just sold. It's marked Army & Navy London also.
