Nice Rifle: I suspect that the scope/mount are as valuable as the rifle itself. If you want to get more information on this rifle, I would suggest that you check the Collector Grade Publication on Mauser Smallbore rifles. Holt's Auctioneers of Wolverton have listed quite a few Mauser smallbores over the last few years. I suspect large numbers were exported to the UK
in the interwar years.

If I had a copy I would look it up but sadly I don't which is why I am hopeing that someone out there in forum land can help answer some of the points I have raised. All the information I have so far been able to get suggests that there is far greater knowledge about the small bore Mausers in the US than in the UK
so I am hopeing that one of our friends across the pond can enlighten me...

I have managed to find out exactly what the rifle is, it is Model 410Mm "M.W. Mehrlader-Karabiner Mm410" the First M is for Mehrlader, "repeater" the second m is for mittelgewicht "medium weight". It would origionaly have been supplied with a five round mag but the ten round curved mag was available as an optional extra. It was made some time after 1932 as it is the "Luxusausfuhrung" deluxe version.
I can only assume that the various Parker Hale bits were fitted when it arrived in the UK
, whenever that was...

Nice Mm 410B Schonzeitbüchse! I noticed the GB proof, before seeing that you are located in Cardiff. I guess this came out of Hammer & Co. on Bishopsgate in London probably just before the war started? The serial puts it just before the E/N proofing started in 1940.
