I came across a DWM manufacture Mauser model 1893 at a local shop. Shop owner didn't know what it was and I was even stumped because usually Mausers have a crest that depicts country of ownership. Well this one didn't have a crest. In fact, there were very few clues to which you could actually figure out where it really came from. There was no serial number prefix letter, which also was a clue that led me to believe it could be a Boer War Mauser? But was it? What about a Chilean Mauser? Turkish Mauser? Spanish Mauser? In this video, I go over the features of this M1893 Mauser that led me to find out where it really came from.
