Mauser American Eagle

Alvin,

'Original' was a marketing phrase that Mauser had used on and off since the 1930s. Many companies were producing Mauser rip-offs (the spanish C96 copies, 98 action copies, etc..) and it was just Mauser's idea of showing that the gun in question was made by Mauser themselves. They picked up the 1930s idea when they started again in the late sixties.

So, just marketing, nothing more, nothing less. Certainly no deeper meaning behind it.
