When I broke down my Chileanicon 1895 Mauser, I discovered the "Krupp" steel company three ring trademark on the top and under the wood handguard. I know that the rifles were made by Loewe, owner of the original Mauser Werke, in Germanyicon (home to Krupp steel). The 1895 Chilean Mauser was considered stronger with better metal than the 1893 Spanish Mauser and I think the metallurgy on German mausers is far from suspect. Does anybody know, given that the Krupp train wheel logo (three circles) was on my rifle, was it made with Krupp steel or was the logo designating the bayonet connection to Krupp who's steel went into the 1895 Chilean Mauser bayonet?
