This is a remarkable Antique Chilean Model 1895 Mauser Bolt Rifle in 7x57mm Mauser, manufactured by Ludwig Loewe & Company in Berlin, Germany, in 1895, as confirmed by the serial number B6710 and the 1895-dated Chilean crest cartouche. Designed by Paul Mauser, the Model 1895 was a bolt-action rifle built for the Chilean military, renowned for its robust design and the influential 7x57mm Mauser cartridge, which offers excellent accuracy and power for military and hunting purposes. The small triangle inspection mark on the rear sight base indicates an upgrade for Spitzer bullets, enhancing its performance with pointed ammunition. Produced before Loewe’s merger into Deutsche Waffen- und Munitionsfabriken (DWM) in 1897, this rifle is a true antique, exempt from FFL requirements except in California. Its historical significance lies in its role as a key export for Chile, likely used in conflicts like the Chilean Civil War of 1891, and its all-matching numbers, including the cleaning rod, make it a rare find for collectors.

This rifle is in very good condition, retaining over 90% of its original blue finish with a very good bright bore, indicating meticulous care. The walnut stock, featuring a crisp 1895-dated Chilean crest cartouche, shows moderate wear consistent with field use but remains solid. All serial numbers match, confirming originality, and the small import mark on the barrel is unobtrusive. Mechanically excellent, the rifle operates smoothly with crisp action. All markings, including “MAUSER CHILENO MODELO 1895 / MANUFACTURA LOEWE BERLIN” and the Chilean crest, are clear and legible.
