New Mauser 29/70

I recently picked up this Mauser 29/70 without box or accessories for a decent price. The pistol appeared unfired. The locking bolt spring had collapsed, but the LugerDoc fixed me up with a new spring. It is fun to shoot and, even with its funky sights, its practical accuracy rivals that of my Sig P226.

Hello gc70,
and welcome to the Luger forum.
Congratulation for the "brand new" Mauser Parabellum.
I am not able to see the FBM proof mark, maybe it is only the photo.
Do you see any proof mark on the pistol?
Thank you
Mauro

Hello Mauro,

There are two FBM proof marks on the pistol; one is on top of the barrel and the other is on the frame rail above the locking bolt lever (hardly visible in the photo due to lighting conditions).
