1916 spanish mauser serial numbers t8948/29/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Like the K98k, the 1943 is chambered in 7.92x57. It was manufactured by Fabrica de Armas La Coruna and is a variant of the German K98k Mauser. You have a Spanish Model 1943 Mauser Short Rifle. If you have the capability of enlarging my photograph, you’ll see the date starts with “19” and nothing else. With the aid of younger eyes and magnification, we can only distinguish “19”, which is stamped deeply and followed by no other distinguishing number or markings. I originally thought the date stamp behind the crest read “1944”. I’m most interested in what information can be gleaned from the coat of arms stamped on the receiver, and the date that it was manufactured. Can you give me some information about this straight-handled Mauser? I bought it when I first went to college in 1969 from a military surplus dealer in Salt Lake City, Utah. ![]()
