6/15/21 - This is an excellent example of a Swedish Mauser Model 1897, manufactured in 1911. The gun is mostly matching, but both barrel bands are mismatched. Import mark on the barrel. Comes with an original cleaning rod. It has retained most of its bluing with some small dots of oxidation here and there. The stock is proofed and excellent with minor dings here and there. Excellent bore - shiny with strong rifling.
