Paul Mauser event in Liège – Belgium

[mauro]

Thank you Gerben for the interesting find.
G.T. to better clarify the story that now is clear.
The mentioned house has nothing to do with the Paul Mauser himself nor with the descendants of Paul Mauser.

The house is related to the descendants of Wilhelm Mauser, brother of Paul and founder with him of the Mauser Company.

What you need to know is that from 1888, 4 years after the death of Wilhelm Mauser, the relationship between Paul Mauser and the son of Wilhelm, Alfons Mauser started deteriorating. Alfons blamed Paul for not recognizing the role of his father Wilhelm in the development of the "M71" Rifle.

The result of this is that Alfons Mauser left Oberndorf and moved to Koln where he set up his own Company.

Coming back to your original point about the Mauser sword, it is most probably possible that the Mauser brothers have both a sword made by the father Andres.

Interesting story indeed, too bad that cannot be verified being the sword gone.

Cheers,
Mauro
