I've got a couple of Q's on Mausers. First, what makes a Mauser a Mauser, why do they call them that????
Secondly, does anyone know what caliber an 1894 berlin modelo espanol 1893 mausero is??? I bought one for my girlfriend under the assumption that it was a 7x77mm mauser, but the case is too fat, but I think the cap is too small???? I'm lost on it, anyone have any ideas on what bullet it takes, and/or how much she is worth since she's in GREAT shape, especially for 108 yrs old????
