[Quote]what is it now? an original Mauser sporter or some kind of plezier rifle made by Mauser for DWM with DWM parts?

First, it is not a Plezier rifle! That name is used for the upgrade ones with long, octagonal barrel, sent by DWM to South Africa, only.
It’s an "Army Hunting" or C rifle put together by Mauser for DWM, intended to be a gift for promotional purposes and numbered in a special range, note the low 62 serial number. There was some variation in the exact configuration of the type C rifles. As Jon Speed already wrote, Original Oberndorf Sporting Rifles, page 112: “Similar rifles were made up by Mauser using DWM parts.”

I think we have to clear the items up.
I use the "Plezier rifle" as a word for a DWM sporter that was send as some kind of gift or corruption with military rifles. they do it for being in good memory some day when another order have to place. so the south american rifles are in this meaning also "Plezier rifles" like mauser is a bolt action or colt is a revolver. I see that they have not allways the same level of quality the original south african Plezier mauser had. it is obvious that DWM know exactly what to do and build the south african rifles exactly for the taste of a Boer.
