![]() This wasn’t due to them being inaccessible or being militarily strong enough to resist, but rather a quirk of luck. While the European Colonial powers were claiming all the territory in Asia that they could, Siam was left to exist on its own. Siam (modern day Thailand, which I’ll refer to interchangeably depending on context) in the 1800’s found itself in some rather unique circumstances. If you come across any Siamese or Thai firearm you think maybe an abnormal example please let me know so I can document it and pass that information on to other collectors. However, since the group dedicated to collecting them is so small, it is relatively easy for rare examples to be completely unknown to the dedicated collectors. As Thailand has not produced much in the way of documentation, most of what is currently known about Siamese Mausers comes from the direct observations of collectors. This guide is certainly not all-inclusive and there is likely going to be oddities in Siamese Mauser variants that don’t exactly match up. This guide will hopefully be able to provide you with a good base of understanding of the basics of the Siamese Mausers.
