!!!!!ON HOLD!!!!! This is a previously unknown 1/4 scale miniature Mauser bolt action rifle by Tom Weston of Mexico city Mexico. 10 1/4" long overall with a 5 1/16" long barrel. All steel parts are finished in the white. Walnut pistol grip stock with red rubber recoil pad. This is functional and probably firing, I just don't know what it shoots. It has a center fire firing pin. The bore is about 3mm. Weston did make some 3mm centerfire cartridges for some of the BelMex derringers, so maybe this shoots the same thing. What is really unusual is the original Weston cardboard lift top box. The box is printed with Weston's name and information in blue ink, but is mostly covered by some Weston marked packaging tape. About as cool as it gets in my opinion! Photo 2, Photo 3, Photo 4, Photo 5, Photo 6, Photo 7, Photo 8, Photo 9, Photo 10, Photo 11 Price: $2,250.00 !!!!!ON HOLD!!!!!
