[QUOTE="point and laugh, post: 1764535"] Here's a pic or 2 of one that I think is rare. I've posted on some other forums trying to find out some info on it. It's not listed in any of my books. And I haven't come up with much info, other than it is Romainian and ammo is hard to find, so I haven't fired it. It appears to be in fine working order. The crown and interlaced C I are the insignia of King Carol I who ruled Romainia from 1866 to 1914. I have 2 other rifles with the same markings, one is marked as made in Berlin, but also is marked Portegese. Carol I was born in Germany, and entered WW1 allied with Germany. I don't know how Portugal came into the picture. Maybe I should have paid more attention in history class. I was told on another forum that it is very rare, I don't know for sure but I think it is, as I have never seen one like it anywhere. I tried to have it appraised once by an "expert" and he didn't know any more about it than I did. The receiver is marked M1892 6.5x53 and Steyr 1899.
