Spanish Mauser

[jmg8550]

That's the thing... There really are no other markings. I had jreifsch80 look at it, and Stan May look at it. They both said it's Spanish and small ring for sure. I have just read that the early ones are better than ones made after 1940? I really don't know anything about Mausers.

It does look like the other caliber suitable would be 6.5X55. It does sound like an interesting caliber. Just wonder about the availability.

Hmm if Justin and Stan looked at it they would have found a date if it was there.They probably have some manufacturing code that can be deciphered ,I had a book that told the codes and dates.
