Swedish Mauser Serial Number Lookup
I know I know.. its been 8 years.
I swept up all the emails that had carbine submissions and spent HOURS doing just the carbine survey this evening. I've yet to tackle the m/96 database.
But, a huge number of carbines have been added. If yours isn't there I promise it won't take me 8 years to update it again. Not even 5 years. Its entirely possible that you sent me your data and it isn't showing. I've been through how many computers in the last 8 years? Several. But I've had data stored in several places both online and off for a very long time. Once I input the data I delete the email. I don't keep anybody's email and I don't know who sent what. I want complete serial numbers.
These databases are very valuable research tools shared freely. This has been 10 years in the making.
