1931 Mauser 22 cal. Trainer (WW2 Capture Souvenir)
Description: This is an excellent condition Mauser Training rifle that was captured around 1943 during the clearing of the Port of Naples by a Major with Patton's 3rd Army, 4th Armored Division. The rifle was found in the area of a sniper who was shot and disarmed by the Major. This is according to a hand writted description of the events surrounding the capture of this rifle. The rifle appears to be absolutely original, and is of museum quality. I removed the stock to find a date printed inside (21. Mei 1931), or as we would say May 21st 1931. The entire rifle is in amazing condition, with a mint bore, crisp script, and an excellent original wood stock, with no repairs or marks, (other then from normal handling). The Mauser emblem on the right side of the stock is in beautiful original condition as pictured. The gun has nice deep original blue to all the metal surfaces. All parts are marked with a portion of the S/N as they should be. The sight package on the 25" barrel is correct, and the original hood is on the front sight. I took it to the range to try her out, and this little single shot functions perfectly, and is extremely accurate. I will include the hand written letter signed by Major Robert Yonker in Oct. of 2009. The letter was recorded by a relative as dictated. This is a real time capsule that would be near impossible to improve upon. Prefer Postal Money Order, unless otherwise agreed.
