This is the first verified mahogany stocked m/96 Swedish Mauser that's come to light.
s/n 373xxx from 1915.
However, the barreled action is serial numbered and dated to 1910.



You'll notice the bolt handle is bent. This is what I call a re-curve bolt handle.
Its a pretty good indication that it came from a shooting club.
