Title: Spring Cleaning .22
Post by: Papahound on March 31, 2023, 12:12:09 AM
Decided to pull out a few things to wipe down and clean and came across these old German .22’s

Don’t shoot them often but I always liked the look of these old Mausers .

Really nice finish and very well made !

They’re definitely pretty and very well built shooters. That deep commercial rust-bluing is beautiful!

Pretty stocks too, very nice indeed!  What era are these guns from?  Post WWII?

I'm really liking the one in front with the bent bolt. Beautiful stock

Thanks

The top 2 date pre war and are proof marked crown/N

The bottom one with the tiger stripe stock is model mm410b and is proof marked eagle/N placing it early war period .. not many .22’s were made during this period due to the demand of military weapons .. lots of great history from this era  thumb1

Thanks .. Walther also had a great polished blue finish especially on the PPK
