Deactivated Chinese Mauser Rifle

Deactivated very rare and unusual Chinese Mauser Rifle. Nazi Germany trained and equipped a portion of China's army in the 1930s, and some German advisers actually fought against the Japanese alongside the Nationalist Chinese forces they were training at the start of the war in China in the late 1930s. Thousands of German rifles and other weapons were exported from the end of WWI until the beginning of WW2 to arm Chinese soldiers. The plan was to have around 60 Chinese divisions armed and trained by the Germans, but they only fielded a handful before Nazi Germany withdrew their support in 1941, under pressure from their Japanese allies. Making this rifle extremely rare. It also has swastikas stamps and Chinese writing on the stock. Deactivated to old specifications in 1993 it can be cocked, stripped and dry fired. A rare find!
