Beautiful 1902 Mauser Oberndorf Type B ?
      #381466 - 23/12/23 01:42 AM

Hi, everyone!
Just acquired this early 1902 dated Mauser in 8x57 with .318 bore.
I still cannot imagine how this 121 year old gun remained in such incredible condition: original bluing at 99% plus and original wood at 97-98%. Fire blue still present on some of the screws.
Interesting that the caliber is not marked externally.
The wood is amazing for a standard rifle.
The barrel is octagonal to round.
Would this be a Type B model?
Is the reason why these early dated rifles are rarely seen because most sold as actions to British trade?
Enjoy!

Wow you certainly have a great rifle there veloce!
Hopefully Kuadue or Lancaster will chime in & give you a bit more info.
Hope she gets some venison or pork in the freezer soon enough!

Looks to me like a very early Type B with nice wood in exceptionally good condition.

Very nice find!

Very nice early Mauser there Veloce!

The TypeM style bolt handle is unusual on a 'B' but maybe Mauser allowed buyers to specify back then, not sure.
Regardless, it was definitely done by Mauser and not later so surely original to the rifle.
