    A Chinese Mauser???

    While perusing a local gun show this last February, I encountred an older mauser being sold by private owner. Naturally I'm a sucker for any firearm in need of repairs and this Mauser was a perfect candidate. What made it unusual was the swasticas on the receiver that seem they are backwards, and this rifle also has all matching numbers. There is a stamp of a bow and arrow inside of a gear on top of the receiver. Any info will be greatly appreciated.

    It is a Chinese mauser. If you look closely, you may be able to see the year of mfg on the top of the receiver ring. Mine is 1934.

    Thanks for the info. I thought the person who told me it was a Chinese Mauser was pulling my leg. This poor rifle was missing the upper fore stock and the ring that fastens it to the lower forend because the front portion was busted off the stock. I grafted on the missing front portion from a Turkishicon mauser stock and also used the upper wood piece. At 25$, it's probably been best bargain I have found at a gunshow. My son has since claimed it as his own. I originally intended on using just the action for a project I have been planning but now it seems I will be looking for another donor rifle.
