Mauser Identification

**Snowman1510** · 12-27-2016 12:30 AM

Hi everybody, I am new and I am trying to identify what kind of Mauser I have, I currently believe it a mixed bag of parts, but identifying them would be great!

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Looks like a JP Sauer Mod98 Mauser. Need close up of top of receiver, but that is what I can make out.

Would you happen to know what the marking is under the barrel that looks like it says 115 and has a star with what looks like a pickaxe or a T? I am also curious about the bolt it has a small circle with an Z in a circle and two more imprints I forgot to picture. And thanks for the cross check, this is the same manufacture I found as well.

I'd agree, not really special but very nice.

If the bolt is all matching then it is from a Czech icon

rifle, probably a dot code. It looks like is is a later war made bolt, but your photos leave a lot to be desired for ID.

What could I take better photos of for identification?

I think he means a bit closer, maybe with a plain background. Don't use a light colored backing and no pattern. Natural light is also best for pics like this.

Yes. I have one, a Russian icon

Capture, with the same markings on the top of the receiver. JP Sauer & Sohn
