1891 Argentine Mauser Carbine Serial Numbers

Hello,,the 1891 mauser is chambered for the 7.65argintine mauser cartridge,,ammo is available in militart and a few comercial offerings,,,, Value would depend on how correct and original you rifle is. And if a rifle model or carbine model,,a rifle model in original configuration would be worth 250good-350 excellent,the higher end would be for an all matching serial number rifle,,not import stamped,,with original finish on wood and metal,,the good price would be for an average condition import stamped rifle with some parts non matching.or some parts refinished,,,,when it comes to military rifle original as issued means everything,,collectors will buy battle scarded model over new looking examples,,just because you don't find many new rifle over 100 yrs old that were used in combat!

Brian, If you would describe your rifle as good as you can,be sure and not use the complete serial, someone out here might be able to help with a price range. The argentine 1891 model had 2 versions, a long barrel for combat and a carbin made for(engineers)which is a short barrel, and chambered in a 7.65x.53. Good luck with your interest. I have the engineer model and am looking for some ammo. I've never fired this rifle because of unable to find ammo. I want to use it for hunting. If you want to sell some, I would be interested.

This is an Argentine 1891 Mauser made in the 1890s in Loewe, Berlin and chambered for 7.65 Argentine All visible serial numbers are matching. The finish on the barrel is in very go. It is a Mauser Modelo Argentino 1891 serial # S 8952. What the serial number ranges for these 5000 rifles are, or what the acceptance marks.

My e-mail is. I have had the same problem finding a price for my 1891 Engineer with all matching numbers with the seal in tact, gun is VG condition. I have researched the web and have come to find out it is worth in the range of $300 to $400 and maybe a little more if everything in in VG to Fine condition. You can find a strap for it on the web. If you are trying to sell the gun check with your local gun shop and see what they may need to price it to sell.

That should be a start for pricing. In your research, look into the chamber pressures. This rifle was made in 1891 and the steel is not as strong as todays guns due to heat treating.

Be very careful when you buy ammo, and know the chamber will split or blow out with too much pressure. The.308 is mentioned a lot in forums, but its pressure is too high for guns made prior to 1898 or later. The pressure is somewhere between 40, and 50,000 p.s.i. In the 1891's. Be sure to do a test fire at a safe distance.

I found a picture of one that had blown out, and it wasn't good. Good Luck with your research.

The late 19th Century was witness to a frantic global arms race; the introduction of the by the French had, almost overnight, obsoleted every other military rifle in the world. The Germans responded by fielding the, so called because it was designed by a committee, rather than any independent factory. Mauser, feeling snubbed, set to work designing a rifle that eclipsed the Gew. 88 in every way, and shopped it to the Belgians.

Due to the fact that the Mauser works were running nearly at capacity supplying the Turks, Ludwig Loewe & Co. (the owners of Mauser) and the Belgian State arms factory at Liege formed a new syndicate, known as Fabrique Nationale d'Armes de Guerre (now known universally as 'FN') to manufacture the new rifle. The design was wildly successful and, in 1891 Argentina, who had completed their transition to only 11 years earlier, purchased an improved version: the Modelo 1891 rifle, in 7.65x53mm (a caliber now known as '7.65 Argentine.'

The new rifle incorporated a couple of significant advances: First, the bolt was a strong, one-piece unit with dual horizontally-opposed locking lugs at the front, and second, it operated from a box magazine that was loaded from stripper clips (a design first) and unlike most every other military rifle of the day, it had no magazine cutoff; it was intended entirely to be used as a fast-reloading repeater, rather than as a single shot rifle with a magazine held in reserve for 'emergencies'.
