Friends,
As I've had excellent luck finding "difficult to locate" items on this site, I'm now seeking a Mauser Model of 1893 Long Rifle, the so-called "Spanish Scorpion", in original condition, for my Spanish-American War display.
(I am NOT interested in one of the rifles that Spain's arsenals/depots had "cut down" or "remodeled" from 29 inches to 20-24 inches, in the 1920-45 era.)
NOTE: As this will be ONLY a display item, a rifle with a dark/"shot-out"/pitted bore is acceptable.
