Antique LUDWIG LOEWE ARGENTINE CONTRACT M1891 Bolt Action MAUSER Carbine
Late 19th Century Mauser Export to ARGENTINA!
Here we present an antique Ludwig Loewe Argentine Contract Model 1891 Bolt Action Mauser Carbine made circa 1893 in Berlin, Germany. This example is one of the many “export” rifles made for foreign governments, all based on the Mauser Model 1889.
After the Mauser brothers finished work on the Model 71/84 for Germany in 1880, the design team focused their efforts on creating a small caliber repeating rifle that used smokeless powder. Because of setbacks brought on by Wilhelm Mauser's death, they failed to have the design completed by 1882, and the German Rifle Test Commission, or the Gewehr-Prüfungskommission was formed. The commission preferred to create their own design, which was what would become the Gewehr 1888, often called the "Commission Rifle".
One of the defining features of the Argentine Mauser was its thin sheet steel jacket surrounding the barrel. This was a rather unusual element not common to any other Mauser mark of note. The jacket was instituted as a feature intended to maintain the effectiveness of the barrel and the solid wooden body over time, otherwise lengthening its service life and long-term accuracy when exposed to excessive firing and battlefield abuse.
The overall condition is good. Strong, crisp action. The bore is bright and reflective with sharp rifling. Solid stock with a low amount of wear (minor dents and dings). Numbers match. Unlike most all of the common Argentine Mausers, this one retains the Argentine Crest above the chamber.
