Commercial Mauser AFRICAN TYPE 10,75x68 with great history
12/02/14 11:12 PM

Original Commercial Mauser an " African Type" in the cal. 10,75x68.
it still remain in the untached conditon as built in 1936.
its a double square bridge without thumbhole
barrel length 68cm, barrel inside brigth and perfect.

history:

this fine gun was purchased by the Zoo of the city Leipzig, formerly
eastern part of germany. as you can see there also existed some original
letters. one of them - an orignal document dated 1945 - coming from
general TRUFANOW, at that time the head of the russian occupying forces,
granting the permission to own firearms in the russian occupied territory,
for socalled "dangerprevention" in the zoo.
in the application of the zoo, leipzg, in the letter to oberst schleff,
of the military government this mauser was listed under nr.1:
"elefantrifle for shooting very big animals like elefant" (translation)
mauser rifle kal. 10,75x68 Mauserwerke A.G. Oberndorf nr. 116580

this rifle i bought in 2010 directly from the zoo, leipzig as they decided
to have more simple rifles for "danger prevention" and therefor they bought
insteaed Blaser R93 rifles professional.

this rifle i was able to sell within 48 hours. it went overseas in a very
fine commercial mauser collection. it finally found a home which this fine rifle
really deserved!!
