This is turning out to be a very interesting Mauser.

Yes, I'm looking forward to seeing it in person. "My" gunsmith is an admitted commercial Mauser addict, and probably the person most responsible for getting me to look at something besides Winchester lever actions (same guy who put some TLC into Osa Johnson's Type A after BFaucett purchased it). Unless something comes completely off the tracks I intend to see if he can remove that forward barrel band and refit a swivel into the other one. Beyond that, I'm afraid the Winchester collecting is going to suffer for awhile as I suspect I'll be off in search of another Mauser...
