on your purchase of a very special rifle. The rifle you have is more

than 50 years old and, at the same time, is a like-new . . .

Collector Grade Rifle!

Your rifle has matching serial numbers on all numbered parts of the

rifle. This is rare in the history of gun collecting and especially so in

former military rifles. It is very important in establishing the value of

your rifle (for insurance or perhaps trading purposes).

Your rifle has its front sight hood in place and its standard issue

cleaning rod in place. Please see also the accessory listing located

near the end of this manual to see just how unique you ’new’ rifle re-

ally is!

Your rifle is unique among all Mausers. It has a teak stock and teak

upper handguard.

Some models come with all accessories that were issued to the soldier

at the time. Your rifle never saw actual military service, but it was

ready.

You own a great piece of history.
