You have an FN 98 Mauser action that was contracted to the Columbian Military.... The Columbians purchased new 1950 short 98 Mausers from F.N. then converted the other Old 7 X 57 Mausers to match the new ones. If it has .30 stamped on the rear bridge, this means it is was 30-06. It is rare to have the crest still on the action as most were ground off before Export to other countries.
