Blueing of all parts is good and the piece has all matching parts including bolt and stock.  Wood is very good with very minor handling dings.  Well-worn sling - unknown origin but came with rifle, may well be original.  Now includes FN Toledo Bayonet/Sheath/Frog Bayonet!

L. Olson's Mauser book relates that after the Spanish-American War, captured '93 Spanish Mausers used in Cuba (Battle of San Juan Hill) were brought back to the Springfield Armory for study.  During battle, they had greater fire-power due to their magazine/rapid loading, against our outmoded 45-70 Springfields. So some of the '93's features were later incoporated into our great Springfield M-1903 rifle!  The '93 Spanish Mauser is an important historical piece for any collection.
