DST1160G-514-81-VOL 1 Small Arms Identification Guide dtd 20 August 1984 has it as Syrian (pg. 181). Cheers, Bruce.
 
Definitely Syrian and made by Defence Industries in Damascus. However, I do not think this is a 7.92 x 57mm Mauser - I think you'll find it is a 7.5mm MAS. Jim
 
Thank you for your identification, I just had a quick look and put it in the ammo safe when you put them side by side the difference is clear7.5.jpg
