Model 1893 DWM Mauser
Hello. I've had this Mauser in my safe for a while and I cant find much info about it. Its a DWM all matching, no import mark, and there is no crest on the receiver. There is a marking on the stock but I cant make it out. Its a circle, that's abut it. Serial Number is in the C block. Any info would be helpful. Thanks.

I’m currently at college and the rifle is back home. I’ll get some up eventually. From what I’ve read, these were navy contract rifles. I also read that in the Mauser Book there are only 10 Navy contract rifles in the US. I doubt mine is yet I just wanted to figure out what exactly mine is.

Is it an unmolested example? Looks like an 1893 'ZAR' Mauser.

And looks like it is in a Spanish Oviedo stock, if I'm seeing that cartouche correctly.

That did cross my mind but look at the marking on the stock. You can almost make out Oviedo.

Yeah, think it does say Oviedo. Is the rifle a sporter?
