![]() He was a POW who escaped from German prison camp during WWII, and brought several weapons home with him. He generally coated his guns with some type of grease and placed them in oil cloth socks when they weren't going to be used for awhile. I know my father owned this gun back in the 50's and occasionally used it for deer hunting. ![]() ![]() Bluing and metal seems to be original and excellent, the brown coloring on the bolt seems to be dried grease, or some type of preservative. Most other markings can be seen clearly in the photos I'm attaching. All numbers match and seem correct on this gun. It says 5 over a line, with A4 under the line on the tag then No 1256 at the bottom of the tag. It appears to be in very good condition and everything functions properly. I'm trying to get as much info as I can on a Swedish Mauser that I inherited will probably sell.
