1/14/21 - This is a minty example of a Mauser Model 1914 made in the late 1920's/early 1930's. This one is all matching and "Crown U" proofed. There is a "Germany" export mark, indicating it was made for the international commercial market. It is in minty condition, retaining about 98-99% of its original bluing. There is just a hint of wear on some of the high edges and a small area of spotty oxidation on the left side. There are a couple of tiny handling marks on the front strap. The fire-blue is still in tact on the small parts. It comes with an excellent wood grip - no chips or cracks. Near-mint bore. The only drawback is the magazine, which is heavily pitted.
