A church lady gave me her deceased husbands 1952 Belgian Mauser (all numbers match. It does not state a caliber on it...and I'd like to know the the caliber. A note in the gun case said it is a 30-06.
On the left side of the gun it reads "Fab. NA _ (unreadable) D'ARMES de GUERRE." A second line reads "HERSTAL-BELGIQUE."
Markings on the top of the receiver include a royal crown, a large letter "B," three large letters "ABL" and "1952."
On the wood stock, the serial number is stamped...that matches the serial number on the receiver.
The action and barrel appear to be in very good condition. The stock is also in good condition. However, it also appears to have a varnish added...with a couple runs.
The most important info I seek is the caliber. I'd also appreciate knowing it's approximate value. I may decide to sell it.
