I need a good, clear photo of the OVS markings on a Boer Mauser. Can anyone helpe me out?

Baie dankie!

Per your request.

 

[Krag]

Red - thanks but I'm afraid they're not large or sharp enough for me to use in my article. Please e-mail me.

Many thanks.

Very cool. Thanks so much.

 

[MariusD]

When you're done, are you going to post it here?

 

[Krag]

Marius - no, I'm afraid not. But you will be able to read it in the Guns & Ammo 2009 Military Surplus annual.

I have a few more photos but the stamp on the side of the receiver is a bit light on the second line. What is you email address? I will email you some photos that are higher in resolution and see if that will work better.

 

[Krag]

I'd rather not list it here. E-mail me you'rs or PM me through Gunboards.com and I'll give it to you.

Many thanks.
