TOPIC:

I see that Cronje's rifles magazine profile does indeed differ from that of the M93, so I aggree with you that it is built on the Dutch action. And I also find your last question to be very interesting, also a topic which would be of value to research. I recently acquired a book , "A Russian on Commando", and when I get to reading it, I will say to what extent this question relates to this foreign volenteers experiences. Thank you.

Back to the C96 Mauser pistol discussed earlier. These often lack their wooden holster, but here is an early holster (for cone hammer) at online auction with Wilson55.
