"/arms/rifles/armgm88" claims that this other gun is neither a Mauser nor a Mannlicher. Yesterday found a (reportedly) "Mannlicher" in another pawn shop not too far from here. Anything which appears German leads me to other conclusions when licensed. If so, this must have chopped the actual collector's value a huge amount.ĭarren007: Roger that, 'de' always means 'of' or 'from' in Romance languages. If the gun uses 7mm, was this just a "Bubba-fication", and could a gunsmith probably find a safe round too use in it? Will call the gun's former owner tomorrow. The newer wooden stock has no shine but very few scratches etc. The numbers on receiver or underneath etc are: 8018, and 5000, 9906 elsewhere. Many of these pawn shop staff have no exposure to exotic weapons (and no homework). Pardon my ignorance of the proper terminology. The small safety 'tab' appears to be the small rectangle to the left of the rear bolt section. The paper tag says Mauser 7 mm, and the barrel's bore might be smaller than on my 7.62 Mosins. "Fabrica Armas" (Arms Factory), by that are "DE" (now the abbreviation for Deutschland) and Oviedo, 1904 or such. This must have been a contract factory in Italy, Spain, Port. If true, then a different chamber/barrel was installed years ago? The action seems good and the pin gives a normal click, I suppose. So far I have seen about 4 different variations.As an older guy but a rifle beginner, all Mausers reportedly shoot only 8 mm ammo. After the war, captured models 1893’s were used in the design of the Model 1903 Springfield Rifle.Įnough with the history lesson, lets get back to the Spanish Bayonet Model 1893. Theodore Roosevelt himself found the Spanish Mauser 1893 to be a troublesome weapon, since his troops couldn’t see where the Spanish were firing from. It was this model, the Spanish Mauser 1893, that gave the United States so much trouble against the Spanish in the Spanish-American War of 1898. Of course the Mauser brothers were not satisfied with the 1892 model and continued to make modifications and produced the Spanish Mauser Rifle Model 1893. This meant at range, when a person were to use such a weapon, they would be harder to spot on the battle field. The new Mauser 7mm round was designed to be a smokeless powder caliber. To understand the beginnings of this particular bayonet, you have to travel back in time to the late 1800’s when two brothers Paul and Wilhelm Mauser drastically changed rifle design by creating what was referred to as the 7 mm Mauser rifle or the “Mauser especial 1892”. It is roughly 14.75 inches in overall length with a 9.75 inch blade. It was produced on contract by Simson & Co. The bayonet is known as the Spanish Mauser Model 1893. A few hours of searching and I had found our answers. This is where Google can really be your friend. She knew it was old, but didn’t really know much more than that, so it was up to me to figure out when and what it was. Recently Kathleen brought home a rather old looking bayonet from a Garage Sale. This happens to be the exact model that might have started me on a quest to learn more about boyonets. The Bayonet Model 1893 was designed for the Spanish Mauser Rifle.
