Antique Spanish Contract LUDWIG LOEWE M1893 7mm MAUSER Bolt Action Rifle
1894 Dated INFANTRY RIFLE w/SPANISH CREST INTACT
Here we present an antique Spanish Contract Model 1893 Bolt Action Rifle manufactured by Ludwig Loewe & Company in Berlin, Germany circa 1894. The Mauser Model 1893 is a bolt-action rifle commonly referred to as the Spanish Mauser, though the model was adopted by other countries in other calibers, most notably the Ottoman Empire.
The Spanish Model 1893 rifles were manufactured under license by Mauser and a variety of other firms, including Ludwig Loewe & Company and its successor, Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken (DMW) of Germany, Fabrique Nationale of Belgium, and Fábrica de Armas and Industrias de Guerra de Cataluna of Spain. A total of 206,830 rifles were manufactured in Germany for Spain by 1899, and from 1896 to 1943, Spanish arsenals manufactured more than 2 million of the rifles including all variants. Over the course of Spanish Mauser production, Fábrica de Armas built some 500,000 M1893 rifles at its factory in Oviedo, along with 850,000 M1895s and 325,000 of the modernized Model 1916 rifles.
The M1893 was based on the experimental M1892 rifle, which Paul Mauser developed for the Spanish Army as part of a program to correct deficiencies in the earlier series of Mauser rifles. Spain placed an order for 20,000 of the M1892 rifles on July 21, 1893, with a further 10,000 added on August 27th, but the design quickly led to an improved version, the Model 1893, which replaced the M1892s ordered. The new version incorporated a staggered 5-round magazine that did not extend below the bottom of the stock. This was the first time a Mauser rifle included a fully contained magazine.
The overall condition is good. Strong action. The bore has dimmed and holds serviceable rifling. This example sports a solid stock containing average handling wear, scratches and dings. The rear ladder sight has trouble sitting in the notches. Legible markings. This example has been refinished. The crest is present and legible.
