Can someone interpret these stock markings for me

[Patrick Chadwick]

What part of NO in relation to the question is it that you do not understand??? Sarge

- The part to which the NO referred!

OK Sarge, all clear now
- The trouble with these sequential posts is that after a while one loses track of which post is being referred to - and forgets the original question!

Could be Yougoslav, but I think they are Rumanian - post war.

Have we ever decided what kind of Mauser this is? It is definitely a unit marking, and just if I had to guess, that's on a manlicher stock? So maybe Austrian or perhaps some other country using manlichers of thier own, Greece perhaps? Still need to know more about the host rifle though.

I agree with patrick, sometimes in the swirl of the postings you get caught up in the hunt and forget what the original ???? was, by the way what was the.... Oh I have no idea and was trying to learn from you all about mausers.

Wheaty (to make it quite clear who is being addressed in this case Sarge13), I think we would all be relieved if you could post photos of the entire rifle, and any system markings, so that we finally know which type of rifle from which country we are all (or am I alone?) worrying about.

Here here! I strongly concur! I wonder if we should start a pot on what the rifle is...

yes pictures please!!

Philosophizing, as is my wont, I wonder - what is the point of having limbs if you can't go out on them!
SO, going right out until I hear the branch creaking, here goes...

It is a Mannlicher Type M.95, and the marking is:
(as explained before, old-fashioned German often used the capital J to avoid confusion with number 1)

Infanterieregiment Freiherr von Fejervary Nr. 46
12. Kompanie
Gewehr Nr. 1

They were based in Szeged, (yes, the place made famous by gulasch)

OK Wheaty, enough teasing, let's have a pic of the entire rifle!

I agree with Patrick Chadwick here; I'm feeling Mannlicher though I am not sure about the particular flavor of rifle... Being an Austrian one would link up with the German style unit markings.
