8MMX57JS;
Top of the morning to you sir, I hope you're getting the bright and fair day up there that we appear to be so far and that you're well.
What a nice example of a commercial roll mark!!!
My "walking around rifle" is built on a between the wars commercial roll marked one, but it was in not fantastic shape externally, such that the roll mark was tough to make out.
I want to say it was a smaller roll mark too? Perhaps it just read "Mauser" and had a border but not as big or with the vertical lines above and below the name.
Anyways yours sir is very nice looking. I can't recall seeing too many in that condition.
Do you happen to know the vintage?
Am I wrong in assuming just post WWI?
Good luck on the bear hunt too, I ordered my bear tag yesterday from that wonderfully dysfunctional site or at least it gives me fits every year.
All the best.
Dwayne
