I know the only the only way to 100% determine caliber is to cast the chamber and mic it or go through the arduous process of getting my chambering gauges back from probate(I loaned them to a friend who died).
But I'm hoping you guys could school me.
Here is the gun:
Mauser for Identification - Imgur
Now, here is something else. 1943 is stamped on the receiver and there are two places(receiver and barrel) that have an eagle over a circle. What is this ?
For the price I paid, I don't think this is a real German Mauser. But there is a spot on the receiver top where there was what looks like dual lightning bolts but that has been marred. There is also a jolly roger on the rifle but I could not find it again. I remember seeing it when I was looking for proof marks.
If there are any more pictures I can take to identify what chambering this gun should be, and also what it is... Turkish ? Spanish ? Jap ?
I know what it is worth is really what it is worth to me in value, but what is a reasonable market value for it ?
