#2 has "Waffenfabrik Mauser A.-G. Oberndorf A/N" on the receiver ring, while #1 has no manufacturers markings at all aside from the proofs and the Krupp-Stahl on the underside of the barrel. #1 does bear a retailer mark on the barrel for one Georg Seelig in the city of Weimar.Rifles #1,2 are both nice and although not Orbendorf Mausers they are as you say a German gun made in Germany. I wouldn’t hesitate to add them to the gun rack of the price is reasonable. But hey that’s just my biased opinion!
Problem is once you start on these German guns….
But as mentioned, the dovetailed receiver on #1 is giving me pause. The asking price is less than $1K and it's tempting, but I'm having my doubts now if it's worth the low initial cost and room for budget if the rifle itself may prove unsafe with the calibre change.
