Fusil FN model Mauser
Traditional single-barrelled gun of the FN. The system with bolt is of Mauser
type. The steel barrel is striped. The wood is striated and fixed by 2 wood
screws. The stick out of wooden of walnut is of standard “pistol”. The rod fixed
under the barrel is out of steel.
The
weapon carries the punches of the profhouse of Liege, namely:
ELG* in a
crowned oval:
final acceptance post 1893.
L*: countermark of the controller, of use of 1877 to our days.
Peron:

The
weapon also carries the following marks:
Fab. Nat.
D’armes de guerre Herstal Belgique:
mark FN Herstal (see our site).
137
- serial number of the weapon.
524
- posterior marking?
I cannot
give you the exact date of manufacturing, the only thing which I can tell you,
it is that the weapon was manufactured after 1893!
We do not
have the repertoire of the serial numbers of the weapons of the FN, the only
possibility to have an exact date would be to write with the FN (But you have
little chance to have an answer!!)
