Description:
LUDWIG LOEWE & Co. CHILEAN Model 1895 MAUSER Bolt Action Rifle Antique 7x57

SCARCE Military Rifle Produced in BERLIN, GERMANY

Here we present a Chilean Contract Mauser Model 1895 Bolt Action Rifle manufactured by the renowned Ludwig Loewe Arms Company of Berlin, Germany circa the turn of the century, which from 1887 onward was actually part owner of Mauser Waffenfabrik. In 1896 the company consolidated its arms manufacturing, and founded Deutsche Waffen- und Munitionsfabriken, the famous D.W.M. manufacturer. All rifles made in 1897 and onward were marked with the new company abbreviation. Therefore, any LUDWIG LOEWE marked firearm is considered an antique. Most Chilean Contract Model 1895 Rifles and Carbines found today are marked DWM, and examples by Ludwig Loewe are very hard to find. The Model 1893/1895 Mauser rifle was a significant leap in the bolt action designs that was painfully demonstrated at the battle of San Juan Hill and was a significant factor in the adoption of the U.S. M1903 rifle.

The overall condition is very good. This rifle has been refinished. The numbers match throughout. The action is excellent. The bore is bright with sharp rifling. The stock is smooth and solid throughout. A very nice piece.

Barrel is 29 inches.

Caliber: 7x57mm Mauser
