Last month I won several Mauser rifles at an on-line auction. One was this Persian 98/29 rifle. I think I made out OK on this Persian. It is a little gunked up with cosmoline, but that may have protected it. The bluing is in good shape, no corrosion anywhere that I can find and the wood, although dented a bit, looks solid. It is all matching
The bore is pristine.
It has a few cartouches I can't identify
