Fabrique Nationale Model 1893 Mauser Bolt Action Carbine, #423, 7x57mm, 18" barrel, blued finish, hardwood stock, inverted "V" front sight and adjustable folding leaf rear sight. Marked faintly on top of receiver ring "FABRIQUE NATIONALE/HERSTAL-LIEGE". Mismatched numbers on bolt handle, cleaning rod, and right side buttstock. Possibly used by Spain but no markings are evident. Includes a leather sling and slightly bent cleaning rod in good condition. Rear sight slide is bent and slides loosely on sight leaf. Condition overall is good with most of the finish worn or polished from the metal, now showing areas of darkening and patina. Stock has a hairline crack behind the receiver tang and a substantial filed reshaped area on the right side of the buttstock comb; otherwise, wood is good with overall bruises and darkening to the finish. Action is smooth; bore has frost with darkening in the grooves, otherwise good with good rifling. No visible import marks. Est.: $600-$900. (C&R)
