THE 7 x 57 mm calibre PLEZIER MAUSER (SPORTING MAUSER)
The beautiful and rare Plezier Mauser with it's characteristic octagonal barrel and elegant stock of selected European walnut, was a sporting version of the 7 x 57mm calibre military Mauser used by the Boer commandos. The Plezier Mauser was, however, also used by some of the burghers during the War, as both the Free State and Transvaal Republics had ordered small quantities of the rifle for sale to the burghers. A considerable number of Plezier Mausers were also purchased privately by burghers through arms agencies. Both Republics presented the Plezier Mauser to deserving officers and officials as a token of appreciation for exceptional service. The Free State President, M.T. Steyn, also owned a Plezier Mauser.

COMMEMORATIVE SERIES OFFERED
A commemorative series of the Plezier Mauser rifle is offered to coincide with the Centenary of the Anglo-Boer War which takes place from 1999 to 2002.

Original Model 1896 Mauser bolt actions are being used in the assembly of the rifles, while all other components are being manufactured in South Africa in accordance with the original Plezier Mauser specifications.
The numbered series is limited to 140 rifles and consists of 4 subseries of 35 rifles each. The respective subseries are named after the 4 most important Boer generals of the Anglo-Boer War, and also carry the names of the important battles assiciated with the generals concerned. The names of the subseries and rifle numbers are inscribed on the magazine plates. The inscriptions are as follows:

1899 - 1902 * Anglo-Boeroorlog * 100 - Jaar
