That is a nice looking rifle. I wouldn't mind running across one of those. I do have a post war Czech with #s matching but not Israeli.

I think about 1948.it was the stop gap weapon until the fn-fal.after WWII the israeli army (idf) bought up lots of mausers from european countries.some of the brno mausers were bought new from the factory.

When Israel first got those Mausers they were in 7.92 mm but they rebarreled them to 7.62 Nato before being imported to the USA.
