As promised here are the front and rear frame well markings of my gun.
I find the use of the â??Uâ? inspector mark along with a number interesting as this is a Mauser.
The most interesting thing, for me anyway, is the difference between fonts used on the frame and the rest of the gun. As I was not familiar with Mauser markings this concerned me quite a bit. For you die hard Mauser collectors this is old knowledge but I think it is interesting and this gun just happens to show the two most often encountered variations the â??3â? and â??1â?.
I have talked to Joop on this, but I would be interested in other collectors opinions as to why this occurred.
Thanks for looking
Vern
