OBI rework or repair? No, I don't think so.
This seller has listed quiet a few Boer War guns in a few years (always Boer side guns, I have never seen a British gun listed by him). He also sells many copies of a book on narrow topic like "Boer War Small Arms". The book might not be written by him (I don't have a copy), but he's somehow Boer War/South Africa related. Otherwise, where to find so many early C96s of that period? Of course, they could be collected over many years, but his listing Mauser are almost all in this period, all came in this shape and in this tone. I would think he has a steady supply of this.
