Early ring dated Oberndorf Mauser sporter
One of my other passions beside S&W revolvers are original Oberndorf Mauser sporters . I brought this ring dated Mauser to the Michigan Antique Arms Collector show to show a friend. While I had it out I decided to take a few pictures of it . This is an early Mauser sporter from 1908. Mauser signed it on the ring along with the date. It has the early features of the round knob pistol grip with the flat reinforcing panels on each side of the action. It also has the round knob on the bolt handle along with the military style floor plate release. It also has the early intertwined WM shield butt plate. It’s one of my favorites. The photos don’t quite capture the beautiful reddish black streaked walnut stock. It’s in unbelievable near mint condition for a 110 year old Mauser. Enjoy the pictures. Bill
