I don't see it there. It's not a Lyman.

Chris, very nice! Wood work is great as always, who put the metal work together and blued/blackend the metal?
I think we have to have a conversation about my 404 still in pieces
Cheers Dale!

Here's an odd ball Commercial Mauser that was sold along side Oberndorf's Pre WWI. Happy to have added this to my collection and will get field use as these guns were intended.

Imported by Tauscher of New York- See the advertisement and the statement.

"Manufactured by DWM of Berlin Germany, controlling Waffenfabrik Mauser Oberndorf"

If you see his 1906-1913 catalogue's it is known as the "Spitzer bullet" rifle and has the same features as the type C, it is also priced the same as the oberndorf base model (type C). As pictured below.

Mine is marked "Spitzer bullet" on the receiver and comes with period correct #48 lyman sight. The floor plate has bluing loss from being carried and sadly the previous owner's SIN # electro penciled on it, other than that cant complain. This one is a keeper, not many around.

See the link for the full catalogue.

Also a link to compare the "oberndorf type C" with the same sight as mine.
