I know very little about small bore Mausers hence the need for help, I have enclosed photo's of a small bore Mauser that I "think" may be a model MS420. I bought it as it seemed unusual as there are several things puzzleing me. It is all matching bolt, action stock ect and it has a Mauser marked 10 round curved magazine but I can only find reference to 5 round straight mags. The tunnel foresight is obviously made for the rifle but is made by Parker Hale, I know that this rifle was made before WW2 but would Parker Hale have been supplying sights for them? The "Ajack" scope is correct for the period but again it is on mounts made by Parker Hale. The Mauser "steering wheel" on the stock has been modified with the insertion of a silver disc I think engraved with the letters C J K and is probably someones personal crest.
Any help on ID and thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
