Hey everyone. I received this mauser along with several arisakas and a Steyr M95 carbine from a very good collecting friend of mine who was thinning his collection down and wanted me to have them. From what I have been able to figure out it is a bolt mismatch piece and it definitely was used and "loved" as evidenced by the unit marking on the butt plate, which I think belongs to a medical corps unit attached to a train battalion. I love all the dents and dings in it as for me anyway it shows that this rifle saw use instead of the pristine examples of these that pop up from time to time plus the action functions perfectly like it was brand new.
