Hello all;
I'm debating whether or not to sell this Mauser but I'm not 100 percent sure of it's identification and manufacture. I'm pretty confident that it is a 1930s Meffert Suhl Model B but there are some things about it that leave me questioning it. Any help to properly identify it would be great. Some of the things that have me wondering are:
-the manufacturer is 'Imman Meffert Suhl' (stamped on the barrel) but not stamped anywhere else;
-its a military K98 style action instead of a commercial action considering the suspected time frame of manufacture;
-Germany and Cal 30 are spelled out in English where I would have thought that those stamps would have been in German;
Other than that..well..here I am. Pics posted below of the various proof marks.
