Mauser Model 1895 Rifle by Ludwig Loewe, Berlin.
Antique
Description: Sale Pending! Nice Model 1895 Chilean Contract Rifle that is a cut above most you'll find on the market but not in that upper echelon of expensive examples now selling for over $1K. These were made by Ludwig Loewe and later by DWM. This one is a Ludwig Loewe which is what you want because by default, it makes it a pre-1898 antique since Loewe was bought out in 1897. Standard 7mm caliber. With the exception of the Chilean crest and some of the markings, this rifle is virtually identical to 7mm Mausers made for the Boers in South Africa in their war against the United Kingdom. In fact, some of the Mausers that didn't make it to the Boers due to a British blockade were later resold to Chile. Overall condition grades to NRA Antique Fine Plus with 95% bright original blue and fire blue throughout. The stock still has its original oil finish which has aged to a dark reddish brown. Left side of the butt has a nice clean Chilean Crest but saw a bit of use as it does have some dings and a some fairly deep scratches but solid overall with no chips, cracks, or repairs. The serial numbers on this rifle are all matching except for the cleaning rod. Bore is Excellent and comes with its original leather sling with brass buckle. There aren't many high quality antique rifles on the market that can be found in high condition for under $1,000. At shows, we're already seeing '95 rifles in the higher conditions priced between $1,000-$1,550. This one isn't quite up there but its quite nice for an antique and A LOT of rifle for the money! SOLD Antique: Yes Manufacturer: Mauser Model: 1895 Caliber Info: 7mm |
