Original German Mauser Mod. 71 / 84 by Erfurt Converted to 7mm Trials Rifle for South America French Antique Guns 240 pp plus 8 colorOriginal Item: Only Of A Kind. This came out of a very old U. S. Collection, I am told, in Kansas City. It is one of the NICEST GERMAN MAUSER 71 84 Rifles that we have ever seen. It actually has Regimental markings on the butt plate: 43. R.

The top of the chamber is marked (Crown) over ERFURT,
