Mauser Banner Police: Swedish?
http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=289147150
I see this as a very nice, clean 1939 Mauser Banner Police, serial #8352 v. Photo 2 clearly better shows the "v" after a little contrast adjustment. I presume that is a Police Eagle proof on the bottom of the mag. It is listed as a Swedish Contract, but my trusty Aarron Davis guide leads me to believe that the Swedish Military contract would be 6000 v or before, and the mag would not be numbered or proofed. Am I correct? Clark

No sear safety and it is a .30 cal. Also has straw parts, looks like a commercial banner to me. C/U is a commercial proof used before 1940, IIRC. I wouldn't mind owning it.
Serial number 8350 is listed on Still's site. it has a 4 3/4 barrel and a grip safety. SteveM |
