This video delves into the distinctive Mauser rifles utilized by the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek (ZAR) during the Second Anglo-Boer War. It explains how the ZAR government procured approximately 28,000 Mauser bolt-action repeaters to arm its civilian militia in anticipation of conflict with Britain, following the Jameson Raid. The video highlights the unique characteristic of these rifles being privately owned by Boer citizens, often personalized with carvings, and explains how to identify these scarce artifacts due to the absence of specific national markings.
