MAUSER Rifle model 1924 of the FN Herstal.
This Mauser model 1924 is “after the war”, as one sees it well with the
buttplate.
This rifle was manufactured after war, in particular for the ABL (Armed Belgian)
in .30. And also in .22 for the training.
But also for other countries, and thus in other calibres (7 mm mauser Spanish,
7.92 and so on).
When these rifles were produced for the ABL, one normally finds either a L (of
Léopold III, therefore until 1950), or the B of Baudouin. On this weapon there
is NOTHING.
Don't I manage to me to find there in the punches on the barrel or the breech
left side, do I see a species of??? 2006 cat. 222 or something.
I find also curious the two holes masked behind the front sight (photo 2).
Perhaps is this a demilitarization “old standards”!?
