1941 CE Mauser, J.P. Sauer & Sohn Suhl Question
My Dad gifted me a CE 41 Mauser with an unusual upper sling mount.
Rather than being on the side of the barrel it's directly under it. The lower sling mount is on the side of the butt stock like a normal Mauser.
I have never seen a Mauser with this type of sling mount. The numbers on the sling mount match the barrel and receiver.
Is this rare or altered? I have done many searches on this and can't find anything like it.
