Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Contracted by the Argentine military during the late 19th century, the Modelo 1891 Mauser represents Paul Mauser's brilliant transition from early blackpowder single-shots into the modern smokeless powder era. Produced in Berlin by the premier German arms manufacturer DWM (Deutsche Waffen- und Munitionsfabriken), the M1891 was chambered in the high-velocity 7.65x53mm cartridge and featured a smooth 1889-pattern bolt action with a single-column protruding box magazine. The compact Engineer and Cavalry carbine configurations featured full-length Mannlicher walnut stocks extending to a protective steel nosecap, providing rapid maneuverability for horseback and specialized military units. Pristine examples retaining their original, untouched Argentine national crests are exceptionally rare, as the Argentine government routinely ground the crests off during military surplus de-accession. This collector-grade, all-matching example of the Argentine Modelo 1891 Mauser carbine was manufactured in Berlin, Germany by DWM, bearing matching serial number "B9819". Chambered in 7.65x53mm Argentine, it features a 17.6-inch barrel, original deep factory blued finish, bright polished bolt, and a full-length Mannlicher walnut stock. Crucially, the top receiver ring displays a 100% intact, un-ground Argentine national coat of arms crest. The carbine is in stunning physical condition, showing rich metal bluing, clean walnut wood surfaces, smooth bolt lockup, and a bright bore with crisp, sharp rifling. Stamped with serial "B9819" matching on the receiver, barrel, bolt, and stock, this turn-of-the-century Mauser represents an investment-grade centerpiece for military arms collectors and Mauser purists.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3-day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
