There are slight differences between the two kinds of Mauser Rifles. There is a leather rifle strap, I don't know if it is original, the strap just comes with the rifle stock. This item is over 70 years old and in Used Condition. The wooden rifle stock is around 40 Inches long from butt to the end of the bayonet lug.
The sword weighs around 5 pounds LBS. The Bayonet is not offered for sale in this listing, it is just shown as a reference only. I showed this rifle stock to a local gun shop owner.
He pointed out some stress cracks in the wooden stock. I had a person in Taiwan say, The Chinese army will not make any mark on butt during World War II. This is the Chinese communist war that won the Civil War in 1949 and then passed through the Korean War.
The old rifles were handed over from the military to the militia units and were used until the 1980s! These words, the top two words is the name of the government commissioned private factories, the word in the box is a place name! So, this is probably an older WW2 era Chinese rifle stock that was used by the Communists in the Korean War era. Normally I have old used items in bad to good Used Condition.
They typically are in used condition and may have defects such as stains, moth holes, dirt, dents, scratches, etc. This item is old and things slowly get destroyed by time. Please do not expect something in new condition. These items are in used condition.Most of the vintage items I list are not meant to be wearable clothing, or as usable items. The item was rough weighed in an open box.
I have mailed items in the past to: Brazil, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Netherlands, Australia, Canada, Malta, Hungry, Belgium, Taiwan, etc. The local Post Office gives those boxes out to use. I'm trying to be 100% up front and honest.
I mostly only leave other people feedback after they leave me feedback. Chances are, if you don't leave me any feedback I'll probably not leave you any either. I try to be 100% Honest and show photos and describe items the best I can. Items tend to be old, used, and as is. Feel free to ask me a question. If I see a size marking on an old Quartermaster Tag, I will try to show a photo of it. If I say that I do not know the size than please do not waste both of our time by asking about the size of an old militaria collectable. I also tend to have items packaged away to try and keep moths from eating them. I only dig them out if they sell and need to be mailed. Please do not ask me to take more photos, because I probably won't take any more photos of things I have already stored away.
