Paul, many folks on Gunboards have questioned over the years what various markings mean on Turkish rifles made by the Mauser firm.
The rest is in the words of Jon Speed, who is intimately familiar with Mauser Oberndorf and the German documents he possesses: It is important information for Gewehr98 rifle collectors also, as the marking also have relevance for the rifles Mauser Oberndorf made for Turkey during World War I. The actual documents relate to the Model 1903 Mauser made for the Turks, but Jon Speed states that the markings were used on earlier contracts, the Model 1887, Model 1890 and Model 1893 made for the Turks.
Recently Jon Speed brought up a subject that both interesting and mysterious, the question of how Mauser Oberndorf handled the Turkish rifle contracts.
