Article about: Thanks to Pete I discovered what model Mauser I have. I'm still looking into it but based on no markings it narrows it down to Model 1916. Comments are still welcomed. Info on the Unmarked 1

Re: What rifle do I have..mauser action?
Your rifle does have a Mauser action and I believe it pre-dates World War 2 as to it lacks Waffenamts or Nazi firing proofs or Weimar eagles. I would highly suggest you check out Gun Boards Forum as there is a special section on Mauser rifles with many members who are very knowledgeable concerning Mauser rifles. I myself am a novice collector and do not want to start guessing as to the rifles origin. It is indeed a fine looking rifle. I am sure other members on Gun Boards Forum will have a wealth of knowledge concerning your rifle. Best Wishes

It appears to be a Spanish Mauser Model 1916 in 7x57mm caliber........Pete.

Thanks for the reply. After I posted this I registered on GB. Waiting to get the clear. I believe it's pre date as well and like you pointed out it has no Waff etc stamps to give it away.

That's where I'm at now. After I applied on I started my own research and as you wrote this i was actually looking @ the 1895 Mauser. Based on the fixed sling loop that makes it stand out from other mausers.

Thanks for chiming in Pete. Did not want to guess and show ignorance suggesting what it might be without being certain. Always enjoy reading your posts. Best Wishes.
