Ok, so I went to the Dulles show with my pops and a buddy. Full intentions to NOT buy anything. Well.. I failed... Miserably...
I think I did good. Got the M1908 for $260 from original asking price $300 and the M96 for $200 from original asking price of $280 ... Hope I did good?
I don't know anything about Swiss rifles so I hope you call can inform me what I have... I believe it is a dated 1900 M96, all the main parts match, from what I can see the 2 bands and the rear sight don't match, but everything else does incl the bolt. Whats that A/N on the top of the receiver?
2nd up is a M1908 Brazilian Mauser, Bolt bits match itself, but don't match the gun. Everything else matches incl the stock. "Star of David" on the stock.... What's that about? Dow do you date it?
And the M1908...
