Question regarding 1893 Turk Mauser.

**Anzac15** · 09-05-2011 09:35 PM

I have an 1893 Turk Mauser that I was trying to get some on regarding the manufacturer. I assume it would have been manufactured by Mauser, or Lowe, etc, but I cannot locate any 'German icon

' looking markings on it. The only thing that comes close is a rather ornate cursive H on the bottom of the receiver along with some numbers here and there. Otherwise, everything else is in Ottoman Turk. Is this H a factory mark?
Anything else I should look for marking wise? Thanks in advance.

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.

These rifles went through a huge re-build program in the mid-1930's. They were all converted to 8mm and re-blued with new markings. The original German icon

stocks tended to crack so many got new wood. Hard to find one in 7.65mm with German markings.

Yeah, this one was rechambered for 8mm in 1933. Speaking of the stock, this one does have a very small Gothic D on the left side of the butt.
