Hello once again. Have some questions I hope can be answered on my 41 dated dou. Mauser. Very nice condition rifle, bore is very good, cleaning rod present as well as the bayonet lug. The stock has a sling swivel under rear buttstock and also on side near wrist of buttstock and of course on the rear barrel band. The rifle is about 43 and 1/4 inches total. Front sight guard present.
The rear of stock does not have a sling pass through cut out. It does have the metal disc on right side of stock rear. Rear butt plate appears to be slightly cupped. Not all numbers match and the bottom magazine plate is marked BYF. The left side plate reads G24(t) and there is a German eagle present, but slightly defaced. A couple of circled letter z's, among many other tiny markings I can't fully read. Then the most amazing thing about the rifle. The rear ladder sight is written in Farsi numbers. Maybe a Pursian rifle from what is now Iran?
I'd love to post pictures of it, but as usual I can't figure out how to do it. My laptop camera does not work. I'd be happy to text photos if somebody would except them.
This rifle has been in my military collection for many many years, but just decided to start fooling around with some of the more unusual weapons in my large collection.
