I am looking for some assistance with a rifle that was given to me by my grandfather ago upon his death in 1992. My uncle was kind enough to store it for me all these years and with his health failing I took the guns (3 of them) and purchased a small gun safe to hold them. Well before I had the opportunity to bolt the safe to the floor my home was burglarized.
The information provided to me by my uncle was:
Mauser Sporter 270 with a double set trigger, he recorded the following markings in no particular order.
FAB.NAT
D'Armes
DE.GUERRE HERSTAL BGIQUE
Serial # 18448
Any assistance someone can provide to tell me more about this rifle would be apparicated! My grandfather used this rifle to fell an Elk in Wyoming in the late 80's before his health failed.
Hopefully the police can recover his guns soon!
Thank you in advance!
Richard
