rem721Help Identify a Mauser bolt
An old friend of mine needs a new bolt for one of his projects. I've run out of spares quite some time ago.
He sent this pic of a bolt he wants to get but wants to know who made it. I can't remember. Can someone help out? He says it also has numerous markings that looked like a pair of crossed hammers if that helps. You can just barely see one at the end of the serial number down near the ball.
Thanks.
1912 Steyr Chilean. They also made Mexican 1912s, and some from both contracts got pressed into German service, but I have only seen the crossed hammers on Chilean rifles.

rem721Thank you sir, you are right, my 1912-61 has these exact makings. Getting old, hell, being old sucks, lol.
