Manufactured in Germany and exported to Argentina, The 1891 rifle features a 29.13-inch barrel, an adjustable rear sight graduated to 2,000 meters, a straight bolt handle, and turned-down bolt handles. This 1891 Argentine Mauser rifle was manufactured in Berlin at Ludwig Loewe & Company.

These were used from 1891 to 1909. The 29.1" barrel has a fantastic bore with strong rifling. The gun has approx. 95% blue. As is the case with the majority of these rifles, the Argentine crest over the chamber was removed prior to its sale by the government. The left side of the receiver is marked MAUSER MODELO ARGENTINO 1891 over MANUFACTURA LOEWE BERLIN. All the numbers, including the stock, cleaning rod, floorplate, and bolt are matching. The stock is fine with a mar on the left at the receiver and a repair on the left forward of the rear band. It has the oval Argentine inspection stamp on the right butt. The
Marked “Mauser Modelo Argentino 1891., Manufactura Loewe Berlin” on the left side of the receiver, has a crisp Argentine crest at top of the receiver, chambered in 7.65x53mm Argentine Mauser.

The 1891 Argentine Mauser is a cock-on-close, striker-fired repeater feeding from an internal five-shot, single-stack box magazine. Like its Belgian and Turkish predecessors, the Argentine 1891 uses a bolt with front-locking lugs, the distinctive Mauser “wing”-type safety selector, a one-piece wooden stock, and a wood upper handguard.

The German-made 1891 Argentine Mausers were ultimately phased out of active service when Argentina began licensed domestic production of the Model 1909 Mauser. It serves to this day but in a ceremonial capacity only. If you’re ever in Buenos Aires, you might even spot sailors there guarding the Malvinas Memorial with it.
