Description:
Antique LUDWIG LOEWE & Co. CHILEAN Contract M1895 MAUSER Bolt Action Rifle
SCARCE Military Rifle Produced in BERLIN, GERMANY
Here we present an antique Chilean Contract Mauser Model 1895 Bolt Action Rifle manufactured under contract by the renowned Ludwig Loewe Arms Company of Berlin, Germany circa 1895, which from 1887 onward was actually part owner of Mauser Waffenfabrik. In 1896 the company consolidated its arms manufacturing, and founded Deutsche Waffen- und Munitionsfabriken, the famous D.W.M. manufacturer.
All rifles made in 1897 and onward were marked with the new company abbreviation. Therefore, any LUDWIG LOEWE marked firearm is considered an antique. Most Chilean Contract Model 1895 Rifles and Carbines found today are marked DWM, and examples by Ludwig Loewe are very hard to find. The Model 1893/1895 Mauser rifle was a significant leap in the bolt action designs that was painfully demonstrated at the battle of San Juan Hill and was a significant factor in the adoption of the U.S. M1903 rifle.
As mentioned, this example was manufactured in 1895 in Germany under contract for the Chilean military. It features a clear Chilean crest on top of the chamber, a small triangle marking on the rear sight base indicating it has been arsenal updated for use with spitzer bullets, and an "1895" dated cartouche on the left of the stock. All visible serial numbers match.
The overall condition is very good. This example is arsenal refinished. Excellent action. Shiny bright bore, with sharp rifling. Fine stock. Markings are legible. Visible numbers match. “SAMCO” import marked barrel.
