1895 Chilean Mauser

[mike webb]

Picked this old rifle up recently. Very nice condition, I'm thinking unissued. All matching but missing the numbered cleaning rod. Note the Star of David below the serial number on the stock. Ludwig Loewe was a German Jew and marked his rifles this way. Quality is simply outstanding!!

Looks like wear on the metal so not unissued but still a VERY nice looking example

Nice rifle ...

My very first rifle I ever bought which started me out collecting Mausers was an 1895 Chilean....

I like it a lot. I looked at the slideshow of yours, Doug. Mine is peppered with tiny numbers and symbols as well, many hardly visible. Any idea what the double S represents on the floorplate of my rifle? Stamps are under the finish so it is factory maybe inspectors intials?

I don't know either Mike, but I'd like to find out...
