I'm somewhat surprised to see this rifle marked "German Mauser Mod. 88" since Mauser had nothing to do with the design or manufacture of the Commission 88.




Since the Mauser M71 was adopted by the German army, any turn-bolt actioned rifle was apt to be called a "Mauser" in Germany. Even pre-WW1 catalogs, f.i. AKAH 1909, Stukenbrok 1910 and Burgsmüller 1910 called the M88 action a "Mauser"
Burgsmüller:


Hartman was a wholesaler and export house based in Hamburg, with a branch in Bremen too. Maybe they had the inscription added for advertizement bragging.
