This picture is for comparison between the weight of my Re-Creation of 111.6 oz / 3165 g (without bayonet but it has included 1.9 oz / 53 g belonging to the Riccheri Adapter) and the weights of the three MAUSER 'Argentine Model 1909' firearms (obviously the three of them without bayonets and without cartridges inside their internal ammunition. These had a six digit serial number, without letters, from 000,001 to 019,989, but some of the intermediate numbers were not used, the approximate number manufactured was 19,800. The markings on these argentine carbines is of two types: a) EJERCITO ARGENTINO MAUSER MOD 1909 D.G.F.M. (F.M.A.P.) b) F. MAUSER MOD 1909 DIRECCION GENERAL DE.

Senior Member Location: Biloxi, MS | I saw this Mauser the other in a local GS and the price tag was $1700 it was the beast Mauser I have seen in person.The rifle was all matching of course wood was perfect and I mean perfect with all the car touches in place.The old man I think is finally going out of business for his shop is getting thin (all the Johnson rifles are gone) but the point is he dropped the price to $1100.I did not know anything about that particular rifle and did a search and most run about $500-800 usually but the condition nothing like this one.The one I found was in even better condition stock wise than this one http://www.gunsinternational.com/gun...n_id=100589634 and a blondee stock to boot and the rifle had the barrel cap.Alot of the stuff I try to buy is from a collector standpoint for value in the future but my emotions have been swung by this of late but it's 'I want one again' http://garandguy.com/product/apennin...inch-barrel/.I feel the Mauser ATTM should be the purchase chime in and give me an opinion.Kevin |
