Fabrique Nationale PERUVIAN CONTRACT Model 1935 7.65mm SHORT Rifle C&R PERUVIAN Military Rifle with LEATHER SLING
Description: Fabrique Nationale PERUVIAN CONTRACT Model 1935 7.65mm SHORT Rifle C&R PERUVIAN Military Rifle with LEATHER SLING Here we present a C&R Fabrique Nationale Peruvian Contract Model 1935 Short Rifle manufactured by FN Herstal circa the late 1930s in Herstal, Belgium. Before the adoption of this rifle, Peru had largely been using Mauser Model 1909 rifles, which was basically a Gew. 98 export model, and Model 1891 Mauser rifles, which were in nearly identical to the Argentine 1891 rifles. They were purchased by Peru due to the inability for the Argentines to pay for all the rifles for which they had contracted. Peru, like other South American nations, had been working to modernize their military in the early 20th century to compete with its neighbors and gain more power in the region. During the early 30's they would place a contract for roughly 5000 VZ 24 short rifles, but nearly all of these would be sent to Bolivia for use in the Chaco War. During the late 30's trials were conducted for a modern replacement rifle. CZ, Mauser and FN would all enter these trials, but ultimately the Fabrique National rifle would be selected. Approximately 30,000 of these short rifles would be purchased from FN. These rifles would be used throughout the World War II period, and specifically in the 1941 Ecuadorian-Peruvian War. During the 1950s, Peru would work with FN to convert roughly 24,000 of these rifles to fire cheap and plentiful American .30-06 surplus ammunition. The overall condition is very good. Strong action. Bright bore. This example sports a solid stock with less than average wear and a smooth finish. Numbers on the bolt and receiver match. Sharp markings. The leather sling is in good shape. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Barrel is 23-1/2 inches. Caliber: 7.65mm Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING. Will need to be sent to your local FFL or C&R licensee. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1500 #217910 SOLD Curio/Relic: Yes |
