| I was given a Mauser. I know nothing about it. Condition is real good. There is a stamp on it that looks like a sword across a thatch of arrows with an axe head. The sword and thatch make an X? Any ideas on the country of origin? |
Look like this? If so, it's a military crest unique to Spanish Mauser's.. Formed from a sword crossed with a Roman fasce, the fasce being an ancient symbol of authority and justice. It consisted of a bundle of sticks bound around an ax, with the ax blade protruding. |
