Well, I for one am still not convinced.
The serial number on the barrel is simply a mess.
I challenge the Mauser collectors to show me a similar "5" from one of their guns?
Common prove me wrong
Mauser fonts are not consistent, so I might be wrong!
Oh and while your at it tell me why the two "6's" look so different is size, and its not because of the curvature of the barrel. Very nice spacing by the way?
