Persian Mauser Info Request

[Enfield47]

Congrats Itong. You'll have to compare it to your M49 on a range trip and let us know which one you like better.

I have an 90%blue 90% wood, 98% bore Persian Mauser made by Czech Bruno.

Gun is unfired but bore cleaned since I bought it from I believe Samco 25 years ago.

Still has importers tags. Up for sale in collectors forum

The only Persian Mausers I know of are the two variants SVT-40 posted above. I don't have the carbine, but I have two of the long rifles. Fit and finish that surpasses all other 8mm Mauser variants that I have seen.

Early Persians were model 1895's I believe from Lowe and DVM. I think I read some OVS blockade guns made it to Persia, but I have to read up on that.

There was also a small FN contract in the 20's if I remember correctly, let me get out the books and check.

FN-1924 I listed in OP. Still would like to know which parts were matching.

Ah yes, the first Persian contract Mauser was an M1895, not related to any Chilean contract or OVS, I was wrong. They bought them in 1900-1905 and the rifle was in service until 1924. Very rare. Only one I have ever seen is a picture in Ball's book, and I have never heard it mentioned other than in Ball's book.
