The second letter (R) indicates a Romanian made vz24, with the first letter indicating production batches. Since there was no batch "Z", yours was from the last batch made about 1943-1944.
The Argentine Mauser rifle with the serial number E8742 was manufactured in the year 1909. This model is part of the Argentine Mauser series that were produced in the early 20th century, specifically during the period when Argentina was modernizing its military equipment. The "E" prefix in the serial number typically indicates a specific production run associated with that year.
Unaware of any published sn data.
No sn data published I know of.
If it is a ww2 mauser, the maker & the date made will be stamped on the top of the breech. it will look something like this bnz 43 for a mauser made in 1943 by maker bnz The caliber is 7.92 mm or sometimes referred to as 8mm mauser model 98 means it was made in 1898 and it shoots a 7.9mm or 8mm round i have one with the serial number 4101 also known as Gew 98
The Mauser VZ.24 rifle with serial number 2641T3 was manufactured in the year 1939. The VZ.24 was a bolt-action rifle developed in Czechoslovakia, and it was produced during the late 1930s, primarily for military use. If you need more specific details about its production, the serial number can often be cross-referenced with manufacturer records.
1965 mauser action safari grade
To determine the age of a Mauser Werke AG Oberndorf pistol in caliber 7.65 with the serial number 500863, you would need to reference production records or databases specific to Mauser firearms. Typically, these pistols were produced in the early to mid-20th century, with many made during the 1920s and 1930s. Without specific production records for that serial number, it's difficult to provide an exact age, but it likely dates back to that era.
Without more information, impossible to tell. Mauser made pistols, rifles, machine guns and shotguns. The serial number applied to military production weapons is not unique to only one weapon. If you will post a full description of the firearm, we may be able to get you a date range, but that is not always possible. Sorry-
This should be a Safari Grade mauser action made in 1964
Your guess is as good as anyone's here. There were several types of rifles made for the 7.82x57 (aka, 8mm Mauser) cartridge, these rifles were manufactured by several different arsenals, and the serial number does nothing to indicate the purpose. Yours might not even be a military rifle - your question gives us no indication of the manufacturer or model - for all we know.

IIRC Mossberg. No sn data available. - I own one of these, they were made by FN using Mauser actions. The markings are on the receiver under the stock. Mine does not have a serial number, from the info I could find on when Mauser made that type of action (Sako trigger, sliding safety) my guess is it was made in the 1950s.
