Posts: 2590 (10/10/09 08:20 PM) Host Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Tags : None Local auction today w/ way overpriced commercial guns netted me a nice 1935 Chilean banner Mauser. All numbers match, including the cleaning rod. Bore is very nice and shiney. Bluing is worn around barrel near muzzle, probably for being held during guard duty. They had two, but the other one wasn't quite as nice and didn't have a sling, so I opted to bid $25 more on this one and walked away w/ it. http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL615/4020916/8349808/375816485.jpg http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL615/4020916/8349808/375816499.jpg http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL615/4020916/8349808/375816514.jpg http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL615/4020916/8349808/375816550.jpg http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL615/4020916/8349808/375816567.jpg http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL615/4020916/8349808/375816579.jpg http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL615/4020916/8349808/375816649.jpg I still need to figure how to get the sling off, it's still filthy.

The hooded front-sight is slightly reminiscent of the 98/29 Persian Mauser... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- What part of "shall not be infringed" don't you understand?

Yours is definitely in a bit better condition than mine. I think most of these were imported by SARCO back in the 80's, at least that's where I got mine.
