A fine Mauser short barrel carbine, as originally issued to cavalry troops and favoured by the early German Paratroopers, made under licence from Mauser by the Belgian FN works, this example was produced for the Columbian military and designated the Mod. 1950, WW2 built carbines were recalibred to the newly produced carbines 30-06 calibre, in lovely almost as issued condition complete with its leather strap. A very nice example of a short barrel carbine with a working action that strips, cocks and dry fires.
