Mauser Broomhandle Red 9 Serial Numbers.Now Oberndorf made other military models pre WWI, but they were contracts and marked with model numbers, i.e. Square bridge, Standard ,Kurz, Magnum etc., Serial Number range is 1-900 I only ever had a question as to numbers made in 1898. Military Oberndorf 98's were marked on the front ring and always dated the left rail was marked Gew 98 Jon Speed says they all are dated and this is simply not true, but again the article was possibly mis proof-read/printed as the statement looks as if it was confused, two similar subjects blended/corrupted. Here is where we differ: Some commercials were marked on the left rail, some the receiver ring, some both, and some dated. "Not Addressed in this article as it dealt with commercial variants" Military had different proofs on the left side of the front ring and additional acceptance marks on the right side of the front ring as well. Oberndorf A/N "Not addressed as the article deals with commercials" Military Oberndorf were marked Waffenfabrik Mauser A.G. CheckĬommercial Oberndorf were marked Waffenfabrik Mauser-Oberndorf A/N Check I have seen and/or held examples:Ĭommercial Oberndorfs have B U proofs 1913 and earlier. The text is even ambiguous as it starts talking about one thing and then finishes up talking about WWII. The only issue in the article that disagrees with what I know to be fact is the statement about date stamps. Some know a lot, some think they know more than they do, and some make their assumptions and beliefs become gospel, true or not. Now I will say flat out that nobody knows everything as far as Mausers. Here is a link to Jon Speed's #9 version.
