When Mauser introduced their famous M-1898, many of the South Americancountries which had purchased earlier Mauser models switched to theirown 'flavor' of the new rifle. For Argentina, this meant replacing the earlierM-1891s with the state of the art M-1909, in the same 7.65 x 53 chambering ofthe older rifles.
I have a 1909 Argentine Mauser in 7.65x53. Rifle appears to be un-issued with all matching serial numbers and clear inspectors cartouche's on all stock peices. Rifle is German made and the Argentine contract crest is stamped on the receiver, the bolt face indicates that the rifle is un-fired. I have a 1909 Argentine Mauser in 7.65x53. Rifle appears to be un-issued with all matching serial numbers and clear inspectors cartouche's on all stock peices. Rifle is German made and the Argentine contract crest is stamped on the receiver, the bolt face indicates that the rifle is un-fired. The 1909 Argentine Mauser was manufactured under contract by DWM in Germany for the Argentine government and it was also later produced in Agentine factories. It's built on the large ring Mauser 98 style action and it was made in 4 versions, the 1909 Rifle, the 1909 sniper, 1909 Cavalry (shown here), and the 1909 Mountain Carbine, each of the.
The 1909 Argies came in three different models - the 24' barrelled CavalryCarbine (full length buttstock), the 24' Engineer's Carbine (typical Mausershort rifle buttstock), and the standard 29' barrel long rifle. The rifle I amoffering here is an excellent example of the Engineer's Carbine.
This is a German made rifle, not one of the pieces made in Argentina underlicense from DWM.
I'd estimate this to be about an 80% rifle, overall, being conservative. Theserial numbers on the receiver, bolt and floorplate are all original matches(original because the amount of re-arsenal polishing on the numbers matchesthat of the receiver crest and DWM address on the left side rail). These were,correctly, the only serial numbered metal parts on the rifle. The buttstock hasno serial number, so it was an arsenal replacement. Curiously, the receiver wasleft in the white - the Argies normally blued the receivers during the re-arsenal process.
The buttstock and handguard are well matched pieces of dark walnut, and are inexcellent condition, very few dings or bruises on either. There is a smallarsenal repair to the rear of the trigger guard on the buttstock (see my photo#5). The white parts are all smooth, and look good. The bluing is around 90%,or better, with some sign of it turning brown (this only shows up in certain kinds of light). The bore is decent, a little dark, but with good rifling. Themarkings and Argie crest are all visible, but are a little weak from being re-polished at the arsenal. Overall, this a whole lot nicer than a lot of the '09Argies I've seen.
Please note that some of the photos were aided by artificial light, so thecolors may appear different in some of the pics. Also, please excuse theoccasional cat hair on the pics - they like to help ;-(.
NOTE: I can see no reason why this rifle wouldn't be a good shooter, but I am not a gunsmith. As it is almost 100 years old, the only claim I will make for it is that it is collectible. Shoot it at your own risk.
UPS shipping will run $20.00, $22.00 to the West coast, and I would prefer a MOor certified check. I will accept a personal check, tho, with a reasonableholding period. A C & R or higher FFL will be required for shippping. I'm newto gun auctions, but have well over 800 positive feedbacks on eBay, under theuser name whooziss. Thanks for looking...
Note to spooky1: Your email bounces incoming messages. That is why I didn't respond to your question. I tried several times, with no luck.
Depends on condition and originality. Anywhere from $100 to $275
No SN data published. Year of manufacture should be engraved on the crown.
You will have to call Browning with the serial number.
Current value is an extended stay in a prison if you are caught with it. Get a lawyer and find out how to get the serial number lifted or restamped.
Someone at P38forum.com might be able to assist you.
Without more information, impossible to tell. Mauser made pistols, rifles, machine guns and shotguns. The serial number applied to military production weapons is not unique to only one weapon. If you will post a full description of the firearm, we may be able to get you a date range, but that is not always possible. Sorry-
If it is a ww2 mauser, the maker & the date made will be stamped on the top of the breech. it will look something like this bnz 43 for a mauser made in 1943 by maker bnz The caliber is 7.92 mm or sometimes referred to as 8mm mauser model 98 means it was made in 1898 and it shoots a 7.9mm or 8mm round i have one with the serial number 4101 also…
These pistols were assembled in Argentine using Colt parts. Starting in 1927
The serial number indicates a Model 1893 Spanish Mauser manufactured in 1921. Yes, it would be a 7mm with gas exhaust hole on left.
Will depend entirely on condition. Could be $50, or $250. Most will be in between.
100-500 USD depending on EXACT configuration, condition, accessoires, papers
Your guess is as good as anyone's here. There were several types of rifles made for the 7.82x57 (aka, 8mm Mauser) cartridge, these rifles were manufactured by several different arsenals, and the serial number does nothing to indicate the purpose. Yours might not even be a military rifle - your question gives us no indication of the manufacturer or model - for all we know.
You are describing what sound like a Mauser 98 rifle. The caliber can only be truly determined by having a gunsmith make a chamber casting. Most were in caiber 8mm Mauser, but there were different calibers, and at least 2 different bullet diameters. Have it checked by a competent smith. Serial number should be stamped on the receiver.
That is not a Browning serial number. The 1958-1968 Browning dating system was of the format: <last digit of year of manufacture><letter indicating grade><serial number> An example would be 8L12345. 8 = year (duplicated between 1958 and 1968) L = Safari grade 12345 = serial number John
The L70 suffix to the serial number identify,s the year of production of your Browning safari bolt action rifle as 1970.
There are various numbers, including the serial number, proofing marks, and caliber. Most Spanish Mausers were chambered in 7X57.
Only 15,000 Mauser M.1891 Argentine carbines were manufactured by Ludwig Lowe, so it's relatively easy. If the serial number is A0000-A4999 or B0000-B4999 it was manufactured in 1893. If the serial number is A5000-A9999, it was manufactured in 1895. Although 30,000 carbines were originally ordered by the Argentine military, it appears that these 15,000 were the only ones delivered.
Although many references have been published on Mauser rifles, I don't know of any that have a complete sn listing.
Made in 1951 - There were 8,011 made that year, serial numbers #62,629 - #70,639
Depends on the model, condition, and whether it is in original state. Serial number to German weapons were not unique- they numbered them 1 to 99,999, and started over again.
You must provide detailed descriptions of ALL markings. How many points on the star? How big is the star? What is the sn?
Try this link.... might get you closer to an answer http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/uniforms_firearms/firearms/p38/p38index.htm
Mauser Waffenfabrik never manufactured a .30-06 rifle. You MIGHT have an M1917 rifle, which can be worth over $1200 in good condition and all matching serial numbers.
This should be a Safari Grade mauser action made in 1964
Most of these rifles were shipped to South America. I should have the countries 'crest' on the top of the receiver ring. Look at it closely and tell me what you see.
About 150,000 p.38 pistols were produced by Mauser in 1944. If it is a dual tone(barrel is blue and the rest is phosphate green) it is worth up to about $1200 if it's in great shape. If it all blue it is worth $300-800 depending on condition. Condition means a lot as to the price. Also if the major parts of the pistol do not have the same serial number, the price is greatly reduced
No published SN data, and the SN's were not going to be unique to one rifle.. many serial numbers have been used several times over.The crest of your receiver ahead of the bolt should show a series of letters,and or letters and numbers in combination.this would be required to establish a date of manufacture of your Mauser model K98K.Please include any marks on the left side,and right side of the receiver to assist me in…
Made in Spain (Oviedo). Impossible to give worth without knowing exact model and condition, and the serial number does not provide that to us. Could be $100-$350 or so.
$0 to over $1000. There's no way to be more specific without knowing what type of rifle it is. All we can determine is that it fires the 7mm Mauser cartridge. There are a lot of rifles - both military and civilian - which were designed to fire this cartridge.
good morning for your question i have a a book (crown jewels :the mauser in Sweden).in this book at page 148 ther are the list of S.N: Your serial number is in middle betwen 371495 and 401598 .the year is the 1916. i have no trace for the hh but i suppose is the inspector control in 1916.but are you sure is HH and no HK? i have a cg m41/b (sniper) and serial number…
Your rifle is a 1964 Safari Grade long extractor mauser action as denoted by the L in the serial number (dead give away since it is a pre 1968 rifle). A Medallion Grade would have an 'X' and the Olympian Grade would have a 'P' in the serial number for the mauser actions so we know it is not one of those grades. The short extractor was not introduced until late 1967 to early 1968…
IIRC Mossberg. No sn data available. - I own one of these, they were made by FN using Mauser actions. The markings are on the receiver under the stock. Mine does not have a serial number, from the info I could find on when Mauser made that type of action (Sako trigger, sliding safety) my guess is it was made in the 1950s.
No way to answer- usually a bolt thatis marked uses a part of the serial number of the gun. Used for military rifles especially, such as the Mosin-Nagant rifle or the K98 Mauser, so that the correct bolt is put back into the correct weapon when cleaning them.
The second letter (R) indicates a Romanian made vz24, with the first letter indicating production batches. Since there was no batch 'Z', yours was from the last batch made about 1943-1944.
