Hi

Fortunately I managed to buy a very lovely Mauser Peruvian Modelo 1909, nearly in original condition, only the cleaning rod is missing.

It was made in Oberndorf, the serial number is 172XX.

Is anyone out there who can provide some more details regarding Peruvian Mausers?

Any kind of help would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance
 
Thank you for the answer.

I already watched this video and there is a lot of general information. But e.g. which rifles (serial number based) were built in which year etc is missing.

Approximately 50.000 Modelo 1909 rifles were bought by the Peruvian government between 1910 and 1914. So I guess that building the rifles with a serial number 17.200 and above would have taken place in 1911 or 1912... but I don't know

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks

hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
