I need a picture that I can use in an article of a post-War marked Paul Jaeger rifle.
I need to show the left side with a cheek-piece.
If need be I can just copy one from the catalog but would be nice to show an actual rifle.

I have one. It's a Mauser in 7mm with a mannlicher stock. I'll snap a few pics tomorrow and send them along.

Nick & Rob, Yes to both of you and I'll try to use them both if possible.
Although my focus is on pre-war rifles does any know if Jaeger used a serial number or date stamp on the post-war rifles?

Michael,
I'll try to get the full size file emailed to you directly, but I don't know about the date or serial number. I'll try to find out in the next few days. As far as serial number, I assume you mean something other than the original Mauser serial number?

My notes on post-war Jaeger are not very complete I show that Jaeger serial numbered his guns. One source says month and date not serial number.
I'm just going to make mention of post-war Jaeger because that was 99.9% of his production.

My rifle has a 4 digit serial number on the front ring that can't be date related. near as I can figure this is a FN mauser action. There is also a mark on the underside of the bolt shroud that looks like an 8 with an inverted capital L over it. No other marks except for caliber.
I'm having camera issues. I'll get the pics to you as soon as I can.

I have reason to believe that many jaeger rifles have the initials of the stockmaker and the date under the buttplate.
Can anyone confirm this?

My friend James Tucker worked there as a stockmaker in there 1980's, I believe he said he marked his guns with his intitials in the barrel channel(?) Much later than your focus I'm sure.
