Argentine mauser

Hi Guys,

Are there any 1891 Argentine rifles out there that still have a receiver crest?

Thanks

I've recently seen several 1891 carbines with crest intact.

Haven't seen any long rifles, but some guys claim to have one. ;)

They exist but are pretty rare.

Thanks for answers guys. They sure do a good job when they scrub them.

very few known in US and A... handful at most

I think the recent import of 91's were all crested.

I happen to have one I bought a few months back with a crest they are hard to find from what I've been reading I just got lucky when I walked in to my local place

I have one,but it's been chrome plated for a parade rifle. Everything has been plated
except the barrel.

I don't have specific dates and numbers, but I can tell you that the first, and by far the largest batch imported were all scrubbed. Mine is one of these. Later a much smaller batch were imported and some of those had intact crests. I have never seen one with a crest. I wish I could find a carbine with a crest to go with my rifle. Great rifles, one of my favorite shooters.

I just found one here in Italy.
Here you can see the pictures.
Seems in pretty good shape and with a wonderful crest!

They actually have two, both with crest.
