1893 dwm s/n 380

[jmoore]

Just a couple of hours after stumbling across this rifle, some preliminary photos. Everything matches so far (haven't been able to pull bands off yet as they're basically "glued" on with varnish) and the bore's quite nice even though the crown has lost it's crisp edges. The nasty black paint is coming off with denatured alcohol. Biggest bother are the stock decorations...but it's still the nicest Spanish Mauser I've laid hands upon, so:

















Hadn't even left the seller's shop yet when photos were done, and typically, no overall photo. It's already cleaning up fairly well.

Have been looking for a nice Spanish Mauser for ages, and this pitiful thing is the best by far.

More in a few days.
