Scrivo il mio primo post qui, sperando di essere nella sezione giusta.
Sono curioso di sapere qualcosa sui 5000 fucili commissionati alla Mauser per le attività di tiro civile e successivamente parzialmente riutilizzati dall'esercito. Questi dovrebbero avere una numerazione specifica da 1 a 5000. Qualcuno ha informazioni, appunti o altro riguardo a questo lotto?

I had a quick look in Crown Jewels, could not find a reference to a lot of rifles made by Mauser for civilian use ca. 1900.
There were the Husqvarna M96s made during WW2.
 
It is fairly common knowledge that the German-made 96's, serial 1-5000, were made for the civilian target group. I own three of them. One has no provision for a stock disc. There are those who will look down their noses at this information, but so be it. I got the one with no cut for the disc from buffdog, who sold me some of his Swedes shortly before he passed on. I'll take his word.

Sorry, I had written in English, but the page's automatic translator converted it into Italian before sending.

Why do you think someone might disagree with what was said?

Curiosity about this particular batch led me to do some research.
After some patient searching, I found one.

I believe the following points are correct:
-Year: 1900
-Mauser marking
-Serial number within the 1–5000 range
-Matching serial numbers (all-matching)
-All crown markings feature German-style lettering

I have logically ruled out the possibility that it might be a repair of an older 4-digit "Gustaf," given that it is all-matching and bears logos with German-style lettering.

What do you think?

Unfortunately, the books I’ve seen so far don’t mention it.

I’d like to look into it further and perhaps find a document that refers to them.

I have a 1900 Obendorf, in original configuration. I will need to check the number.

What I do know is that it has the most amazing trigger compared to my other Mausers.
