Barrel has "Nitro" proof; crown over N (#28 in the book). I missed it before.
The guy at the gunshow had "VOPO" on cardboard in black marker. I assumed with that kind of documentation it Had to be true!
Kenyon says some collectors call this variation a
"Mauser Military" but he thinks "police or other non-military users".
So if not VOPO then who's been whacking on my pistol with a snarbing punch and Why? HMM?
Thanks for the help guys. I don't have a magic computer camera so no pics for now.
I did slip off to the range today and fired 57 rounds through the gun. Shoots great, two failures to feed, all the brass went way up in the sky and came down with varying degrees of distortion at the case mouth. Is that normal?
Thanks again, Mark
