That looks like a model of 1910 Mexican Mauser. I believe they were designed by F.N., but made and proved in Mexico. Very desirable action in the custom gun trade.

FISH!!

Heed the words of Winston Smith in Orwell's 1984:

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right."

Yeah, I know what it is. Was wondering if the mark indicated who made it.

PV just means Poudre Vive, which, as you know, is live powder. Meaning Proof Powder. These are made in Mexico.

On the left side of the action it looks like it says VZ24.

Different gun. Look at the serial number.

I guess that is confirmed by the words around the crest on the receiver ring:"FABRICA NACIONAL DE ARMAS - MEXICO, D.F.".

Mexico D.F.

IIRC, the D.F. is an abbreviation for what in English we would pronounce as Federal District...and as I recall, that means Mexico City. I may have that all screwed up, but that's the way I remember it going.....


My country gal's just a moonshiner's daughter, but I love her still.
