The barrel is stamped '.22 CALIBRE' It has the Great Britain, USA, Spain, Germany and Canada 1925 patents stamped on the Right Side of the cylinder together with the correct patent Number '371548'. The metalwork is in very good order with only minor signs of wear, the barrel has wear where it has been removed over the years. The Walnut stock is un-damaged, again with only minor signs of age-related wear. A very nice example of a collectible rifle. The weapon cocks loads and shoots as it should.

It was defeated by the Eight-Nation Alliance of foreign powers. (The jian is a double-edged straight sword used during the last 2,500 years in China). This beautiful example measures: 56 ½ cm (blade length: 41 ½ cm). The diamond cross section double edged blade is unmarked with the usual age-related staining.

It was common practice for Boers issued with rifles to carve their names and often scenic or religious imagery into the wood stocks of their weapons. This Mauser Model 1896 Rifle is one of the rifles purchased by the Boers. It is almost certainly one of many captured by the British during the War. The woodwork and metal work are all original.
