All,
It has been a while since I have come across a Swedish Mauser I could not live without. Well, my luck changed today. I've been wanting to add a Husqvarna to my small Swede collection, and now I think I've found one worth keeping.
From what I can determine it is all matching 1941, sn# 620013. The wood and metal are very nice and the grain caught my eye. I was surprised to find the handguard and stock stamped with a set of stamped non-matching numbers, and a second set of matching penciled numbers. How common is this practice? I also noted many of the parts are not numbered, but have the canted crown. Is that a sign of the rifle be rebuilt or is this factory as built? I welcome your comments.
P.S. NOTE: The rifle is Samco dot matrix import marked on the underside of the barrel.
Thanks, Shannon
