Description

Deutsche Waffen-Und Munitionsfabriken (DWM), Model: 1891 Argentino Mauser, Cal: 7.65x53mm Mauser, MFG: 1900, S/N: U 1252, Bolt action rifle, 29'' barrel. The straight wrist walnut stock is excellent with only a couple small nicks & dings. The S/N is stamped into the right side of the stock just in front of the magazine. There is one cartouche on the upper handguard, two on the bottom of the wrist, three more on the belly of the stock, & there is one on the right side just below the S/N stamping. The blued metal finish rates 95% on the barrel with a couple small scratches, & 80% on the receiver with the top of the receiver band where the crest was buffed off, is bare steel & is starting to tone brown. Some other metal parts have a light speckling of patina, light scratches & spots of thinned finish. The left side of the receiver is marked with two proof stamps, ''MAUSER MODELO ARGENTINO 1891'', ''DEUTSCHE WAFFEN-UND'', ''MUNITIONSFABRIKEN.'', ''BERLIN''. The right side of the receiver band & the barrel are stamped with the S/N. The top rear of the barrel & left side of the rear sight base has a proof mark. Other metal parts have small proofs. S/N matching bolt, barrel, magazine, & cleaning rod. The bore is excellent near MINT. Bright & mirrorlike with no visible wear. The barrel holds a barleycorn front sight with a flip-up ladder, V-notch rear sight marked 4 to 20. The stock carries a blued steel buttplate with spots of wear in the middle & edges. Rifle has both bottom sling loops & comes with the correct black leather sling. Rifle has a cleaning rod. Rifle also comes with the correct M1891 Bayonet with a sheath. Bayonet & sheath are S/N U 6589, blade is marked ''MODELO ARGENTINO 1891'' over the S/N, this side of blade has some grinding/buffing marks. The other side of the blade is marked ''WEYERSBERG'', ''KIRSCHBAUM & CO.'', ''SOLINGEN''. The spine of the blade, guard, pommel & the sheath marked with proofs. Most Argentine Mauser have the crests ground off because it was a legal requirement to export them when the majority of them were imported. This requirement was gotten rid of later but since they imported the rifles in better condition first the ones in worse condition usually have them, & there are far fewer of them. FFL or C&R Req. - Value: 450 to 900
