I just bought a copy of Arming the Dragon from gun and sword collectors for $23.49 shipped. A friend of mine has it and helped me identify a rare Type 10 with it but it was deactivated.

Spanish Air Force Mauser with defaced crest? Mine was originally a G98 that was made into one. My serial is EA02769.

Yep. M44 Spanish Air Force Mauser. Should have the 7.92 caliber on the left side side of barrell.

spanish m44

thanks for your help, saffo, you were correct with it being a m44 Spanish air force model. any idea who made them?

Man, they really funked up that crest...looks Chinese!

I know Oviedo was one of the Spanish makers, but don't know, I never had any interest in Spanish stuff other than foreign SCW stuff...

They rearsenaled a lot of rifles they got from the Germans during the SCW. Mine has an Imperial receiver and a German second (02) barrel. I don't know which Spanish arsenal redid them.
