Found a Greek contract Mannlicher rifle today, 'Steyr 1914' marked, Greek royal crest and 'Y:1903/14' on receiver. Rifle is in very good condition, worn roundel on buttstock. No St George stamps, (was under the impression all Greek rifles had these) but parts are marked with small Maltese crosses and 5 pointed stars. Not matching. Has a stacking hook.
I have heard of these, but have never seen one in person. So I bought it. Kind of had to! However, my knowledge on these are extremely limited. Would like to hear from the experts as to where it might have served, with whom, etc. Look forward to some insight!
