Matching numbers on receiver, bolt and trigger guard. Stock is in beautiful condition with minimal storage wear. Overall the rifle is in beautiful condition. This is an example of an early Model 1909 Mauser rifle as manufactured under commercial contract by DWM for the country of Argentina, that was produced as a low turret sniper rifle. These early sniper rifles were all supplied with Zeiss scopes using low turret mounts. Rings are approximately 26.5mm.
The Mauser 1909 was a slightly modified copy of the Gewehr 98. Among other modifications, the Lange Visier sight was replaced by a tangent leaf sight. The M1909 was also able to use the bayonet of the Mauser 1891 it replaced. The main producer in Germany was Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken that delivered 200,000 rifles while around 85,000 rifles were manufactured by the Fabrica Militar de Armas Portatiles, governmental plants in Rosario and Santa Fe. The Model 1909s were replaced by FN FALs without having seen combat.
Some Argentine Mauser 1909 rifles and carbines without crests were sold to Paraguay during the Chaco War.
As with all surplus firearms they should be checked by a professional gunsmith.
