Nice Jon ..
Although I haven't had a chance to create a formal Knowledge Library entry for it, here's a piece from my collection …
1896 Boer Mauser Rifle Serial # B7772 (click here)
"One of the first 20,000 rifles delivered in 1896 to Z.A.R.
Serial number ranges were A1 - A10000 & B1 - B10000"
"All matching numbers except cleaning rod and un-numbered bolt"
"Vet bring back and was originally part of CMI collection"

Doug
