World War II Era TURKISH ANKARA Model 1903/38 7.92mm Cal. MAUSER Rifle C&R
“ATF/1954” Marked Turkish Military INFANTRY Rifle
Here we present a C&R Turkish “ATF/1954” Marked Model 1903/38 Military Rifle. Many of the Turkish rifles were lumped together into a group called the Model of 1938, which wasn’t a single model, but rather a common set of features. The designation isn’t even one that the Turks used, but rather is a designation that U.S. importers used to describe these rifles. It is assumed that the Turkish military took whatever rifles that they had and converted them to this design. The most common of these rifles are the K. Kale marked rifles. The markings on this rifle are T.C. for Turkive Cumhuriveti, for Republic of Turkey. A.S.F.A. for Askari Fabrika, or Military Factory. ANK ARA for the city of manufacture.
These so-called Turkish Model 1954 ATF marked rifle was apparently rebuilt circa 1954 from surplus World War I German Gewehr 98 rifles. It is believed that less than 10,000 of these were produced in this fashion. The “ATF/1954” stamped on the receiver indicates the rework was done at the Ankara Tufek Fabrikast in Ankara, Turkey.
Though the Turks were neutral in World War II, they were courted by both the Allies and the Axis. But even with the courting, they stayed neutral to the end of the war. They gave refuge to both sides, giving refuge to the Germans that were escaping the Soviets in Bulgaria and Romania in 1944, and the Allies in Greece in late 1944 and early 1945.
The overall condition is very good. Robust action. Bright bore. This example sports a solid stock with an average amount of wear. Legible markings. “NA Co”, “TURKEY”, and “CAI” import marked. “1954” dated barrel.
