However, the rifles known to have been purchased by Haiti were FN model 24\/30 short rifles in .30-06, not long guns like this and not with these markings. The chamber symbol in particular is a mystery to me. Is this an example of the elusive CZ 29\/53 pattern, unsuccessfully marketed to Haiti? Why would Haiti be using an 8mm rifle in 1957 anyway? If you know the answers to any of these questions, I would love to hear form you in the comments section&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>If you enjoy Forgotten Weapons, check out its sister channel, InRangeTV! <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/InRangeTVShow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/InRangeTVShow<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>http:\/\/www.forgottenweapons.com\/mystery-mauser-haitian-czechoslovakian-or-not http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! http:\/\/shop.bbtv.com\/collections\/forgotten-weapons This Mauser is one that I simply have not been able to definitively identify.
