A 1891 Mauser by Loewe made for Argentina, Serial Number E6xxx. There are some South American rifles serialized like we do it, but.

Whether made by Loewe or DWM, the 1891 Argentine Mausers are beautifully made firearms well-known for their spectacular receiver markings. In addition to the model designation and the manufacturer information, the front receiver band of each rifle and carbine was beautifully rollmarked with the distinctive Argentine national crest.

This emblem consists of a wreath enclosing three symbols important to the country’s national identity: a pair of hands in mid-handshake representing unity, a wooden pike representing power and a Phrygian cap representing freedom. At the apex of the crest, the sun shines down in a metaphor indicating a national aspiration and optimism that would not follow Argentina through the politically complicated 20th century. The Phrygian cap and the shaking hands also appear on various parts and components of the 1891 rifles and carbines as proof and acceptance stamps, making each gun a handsome example of late 19th-century gunmaking craftsmanship. Collectors in the U.S., though, often find the national crest ground off of Argentine 1891 Mausers.

This was done in the aftermath of the Chaco War of 1935, which pitted Bolivia and Paraguay against one another in a vicious albeit brief struggle for control of South America’s resource-rich Chaco Boreal. Argentina provided Paraguay with a large number of Model 1891 Mausers during the conflict in a move that jeopardized its relationship with Bolivia. The presence of unground national crests made it impossible to deny Argentina’s direct support for Paraguay, so after the war Argentina instituted a law requiring the removal of the national crest from any gun leaving the country.

Although the government in Buenos Aires later dropped this requirement, by then most of the Argentine 1891 Mausers had been ground, and this accounts for why it is rare to find one with the crest intact. The German-made 1891 Argentine Mausers were ultimately phased out of active service when Argentina began licensed domestic production of the Model 1909 Mauser. It serves to this day but in a ceremonial capacity only. If you’re ever in Buenos Aires, you might even spot sailors there guarding the Malvinas Memorial with it.

Ive got my eye on an extremely well taken care of full size long rifle 1891 modelo argentino 7.65x53. At least 90% blueing, stock is beautiful with minor dings and look to be original (AR) shielded argentine stamps, everything matching, cleaning rod ect. Scrubbed crest of course, bore Bright shiny no pitting or any thing other than some dust. Couldn't do a crown test on it because the store obviously doesnt carry the argentine round being somewhat uncommon boolit. But the rifling is strong all the way to the crown so looks good. Now to my questions. Quality wise, do these mausers compare to the 1909 or newer models?

Gimp provides the tools you need to simulate the X-ray effect by selecting an area of the model's clothing and adjusting its color intensity, contrast and brightness until it resembles the person's body beneath. For example, you may need to bring attention to the physique of a model used in a company ad. The Gimp can help you enhance and accentuate parts of a photo even when they are partially obscured by a garment or covering.

(i know there were advancements made on the newer models) what would a nice one go for in a store near you? And * weird question * do any other mauser bayonets fit the 1891 argentine? (cheapest ones ive seen are 100$+ for the 1891) Any other comments or information about the rifle, owning, or buying the 1891 modelo argentino would be very appreciated (other than ammo price issues, or finding ammo which shouldn't be too hard). Mike, For $250, if the Model 1891 rifle is uncut (ie, not sporterized), and in nice condition with a clean bore, you got an excellent deal. Normal selling prices for ones with the scrubbed crests usually go for around $300-$500, and I've seen even higher prices asked (although rarely sold, unless the crest is intact). Is yours a Lowe or a DWM marked rifle? I used to have a link to a chart that matched the serial number blocks to the year of manufacture, if I still have it I'll post it.
