If any firearm could be described as elegant I think it would be the 7mm Argentine & Brazilian Mausers.
Long & sleek.

Sorry for the first set of pics, bad resolution... :surrender:

I send a new set of pics

Me thinks you mean 7.65 Argentine and 7mm Brazilian.[emoji6]

Germans did not want to lose the Argentine contract, but were overwhelmed with Turkish contract. They had the Custom House build the guns and all of the Argentine were made to commercial specs. The bolts may or may not fit a military Mauser. The best made of all of the German military rifles.

I found in a surplus store a vintage canvas cover and muzzle cover.

The Turkish contract was with the Mauser company . The Argentine 1909 was made by DWM , a different company , and had nothing to do with the Turkish contract .

In terms of quality those are some of the finest military rifles ever made. My pre-WWI G.98 DWM dealer's sample has the same DWM markings on the receiver rail but otherwise, only commercial proofs and is in the standard 7.92X57. Otherwise the resemblance is unquestionably Mauser.

I'd say the 1909 Argentine was about as good as it got.
