Not even once, I think

Hugo 'Schmeisser'!

Rather ironic name since his designs 'tossed' a lot of copper coated lead!

We have a joke on this name in French, unfortunately difficult to literally translate in English.

Schmeisser means welder, the one who welds, 'souder' in French. In slang 'dessouder' translate as unweld and means kill.
Il a été déssoudé, he has been killed. It was used mainly by the gangsters or the cops between 1930 and 1960.

Is there a link?

nice!!!

dumb question- have you shot it, and if so, how much fun is it to shoot?

btw- thanks for the pics/story. really liked it! thanks again!

A propos, nous avons pu avoir quelques-uns « dispute dans le passé, je m'excuse de ce que j'ai pu dire ! merci encore pour les images. Avoir un bon jour !

Bad translation:

"Schweissser" means "welder".

"Schmeisser" is rather "tosser"

Ok, so Maus is mouse in German. What does that tell us about the Mauser brothers?
Grizz

It means that an 8mm Mauser would make a mess out of a mouse!

The 8X57 was not a Mauser cartridge.

Is that in the same way as a 3006 springfield is not a springfield cartridge.??

Thanks for posting the pic link Edmond,,I enjoyed viewing them.ireload,,I'm gonna see what Ludwig has to say about the 8x57,,If remember correctly,,there's 2 different ones,,I think a s,and,j,series,,Can't remember exactly if Paul Mauser made the changes,,or the german military,,Clay

8x57 J = .318 bore, 8x57 JS = .323.

Translations can be a tricky thing.

Had a girl friend in Hiedleburg. Took her something I thought she'd like & enjoy.

My German was 2%, her English was even less, but we did figure out the fun things every species since Adam has.

Told her: This is a Gift, she panicked!
Once we figured out I was giving it to her as such. Looked it up in the translation dictionary I had.

Gift in German, means: poison.
No wonder she got bent out of shape, hehe!

Both the 30/06 and the Sprinfield were were US Govt. designs. The 30/06 was designed for the Springfield. The 8X57 was first used in the 1888 Commission Rifle. Neither were Mauser's design.

Byf, thanks for your appreciation,

I shot it only two times, it is like..
I dunno how to compare shooting with this piece of history to anything else I know.
It is like having a painting of a famous artist but it is better than just looking at a painting on the wall.
it is a pure pleasure technically speaking and can't compare to anything else I know.
I hope new owner can feel proud of having it, studying it and using it from time to time.
