Thanks for the reply. I would guess the origin of the rifle is Austria? It came from a relative who was in WWII who stated it was being used as a sniper rifle during the final battles. That is all I have as he died before I was old enough to appreciate the gun or his service. Somehow it found it's way to my house when his daughter took all of his guns and proceeded to take them to the police department. His other collectibles were in a pile for the salvation army....amazing the stupidity. Fortunately and by chance, another relative who needed to borrow a tool caught her in the nick of time and relieved her of the nuisance.

I have not shot it yet nor have cerrosafed the chamber. Can you elaborate on your comment of it not being a "typical" rifle of the era or a 1924? Maybe it is something else other than a 1924 of which someone informed me.

Here is a better photo for your review.

Also, here is an interesting bit of data that show Mannlicher offering a 8x60 S. I am unsure if this catalog is post war or pre-war?
