Re: Mystery Mauser
Looks like a Spanish 1895 in 7x57.

Re: Mystery Mauser
I'll agree. either an 1893 or 1895 type Spanish Mauser in 7x57 that's been sporterized.
Small-ring, cock-on-closing action,thumb slot in the receiver, "rollercoaster style" rear sight... Very possibly one of the "unmarked" 1916 variants. Check this site for more help on IDing it. http://masterton.us/Spanmauhome In particular, check the unmarked 1916 pages: http://masterton.us/Unmarked1916 http://masterton.us/Unmarked_1916_Serial_Nos |

Re: Mystery Mauser
Yep, a sporterized 1916 "unmarked" Spanish Mauser probably in 7 X 57 Mauser. Whoever did the sporterizing did a damn good job of it too.
 Here's mine still in it's military clothes:
