So here is my Mod. Mauser 1896 salesman's rifle. Made in 1896 by Lugwig Loewe & Berlin. All matching with the serial number of six. I know most of these rifles were ordered by the Orange Free State and saw service in the Boer War. My rifle has no O.V.S. marks on it. Their commercial proof marks on the receiver and Bolt into type of Cartouche marks on the stock and front barrel band. This rifle was formerly part of the well known Bruce Stern collection and also part of Ohio Ordnance Works owner Robert Landies collection. I had the privilege to talk to Robert on the phone a couple months ago.
