Persian Mauser
I have a Model 98 Persian Mauser that I need some information on. Unlike the ones that I have seen on the auction sites, it has a short barrel (about 19 inches) and a turned down bolt handle. It looks like it is all original and in about 99% condition. Numbers match as far as I can tell (all markings are in Farsi) including the stock. The sling attachments are along the side of the rifle instead of along the bottom. Can someone tell me something about this rifle and about what it is worth? Thanks!

In the recent post on the custom Mauser with engraving, nononsense pointed out that the left receiver wall had Farsi writing on it. I am embarrassed that I missed that since I have one of those Mausers in my collection. I acquired it some years ago shortly after they appeared on the surplus market. When were these Mausers produced and which factories made them. And since the writing is in the usual place for the manufacturer's markings (and I don't read Farsi!), I wonder if it's the manufacturer's name written in Farsi. 0 -
Most of the Persian Mausers found in this country are either the long rifles made in Czechoslovakia in the 30's, or the Model 49 carbine that was actually made in Iran on Czech equipment. The Farsi markings identify the model and country of origin. 0
