Eric,

I suspect you made the common mistake of mixing up Sweden, where I was born, and the Swiss (Switzerland). Never mind :)
Having said that, I don't know much about weapons. Only that I grew up end of the war in Stockholm with a great Mauser rifle (license built by Husqvarna Vapenfabriker) hanging on the wall.
My father had won it in a shooting competition and I still remember joining him to the shooting range a couple of times, where he competed in tne Mauser class. Its my understanding that the Swedish built Mausers were the best and also command some price today.
Unfortunately, when he died 1976, we had to deliver it to the Police "in deposit" and that was the end of the Mauser story in my family.
