This '09 Argy rifle (29" barrel) is the 27th rifle ever produced, S/# A0027 and is in collectible condition with all #s match except matching stock/cleaning rod (#E0190).
The Germans made about 300,000 for Argentina and this one was in the 1st batch shipped in 1909.
This is a functional firearm, not just a piece of pre-WWI history.
This historic Mauser fires the 7.65x53 cartridge, the 308 Win of its day, and comes with 6 boxes Commercial PPU ammo. There's an import stamp on the underside of the barrel.
also included:
-RCBS reloading dies
-excellent 1891 brass handled Bayonet
-partial cleaning kit
-Mil-surplus leather ammo pouches
You will not find an earlier 1909 in better condition.
I am open to interesting trades; AR10, old Browning, Sako, Colt, Garand/M1A, or High-end optics.
