Unusual triggerguard on Turkish Mauser

[Anzac15]

This is a 1948 dated Kirrikale Im looking at. Normally I'm not interested in the KKs, but this one has a distinctively different triggerguard. Anyone ever see one like this?

Not a snow trigger guard like the germans fitted to the K-98 for the winters in the Eastern battle grounds!

[Patrick Chadwick]

The bottom (i.e. the actual guard) should be roughly horizontal. So the top (the mounting plate) on this example needs to slope downwards to the rear more strongly than on a typical rifle.

In other words - it looks more like a guard from a pistol! Or at least off a rifle with a strongly downward sloping stock section, such as a pistol grip.

can you get a different view of guard might have seen one before but not sure.

Unfortunately the rifle was sold before I could tell him I would take it. Serves me right for waiting too long..it was kind of unusual.
