Only two for me, but I'll add 'em to the very, very lovely list of long Mausers being shown off here.
First is an OVS "Boer" Mauser, personalized by the burgher who carried it during that conflict. A bolt m/m.
Next is an '06 DWM Gew, another bolt m/m, and a sanded stock unfortunately, but I'm still pretty happy to have it.

I recognize that boer Mauser as one I had in my collection a few years back.Only two for me, but I'll add 'em to the very, very lovely list of long Mausers being shown off here.

Mine's also dated 1931.
So Turk Mausers in 7.65X53 are scarce? Mine's a M1893.
I guess the M1887 is even more scarce.
When did Turk Mausers become anything but something at which to scoff? I guess the Carcano will have its day as it deserves.
For the life of me, I have never understood why Turk Mausers, Carcanos, Arisakas and Mosins were scoffed at. They were considered junk in the 50s, 60s and early 70s, even by some to this day.
There are all kinds of old excuses. Mostly dating back to WWII propaganda. I wonder how many troops were killed because they believed that propaganda???
Turk Mausers, have seen combat under all conditions and times, since the Turks first started to use them. Many are still being fielded by the Kurds to this day. They are almost all used and abused to the point of being worn out but most of them have been taken care of well enough to still be serviceable under stressful condions. Very seldom do we run across a Turk Mauser or any other bolt action fielded by them that doesn't bear the scars of heavy field use.
They deserve a lot more respect.
