Design[edit]
1891 Mauser Carbine Serial Numbers; Argentine 1909 Rifle; The value of it will be variable. Currently, they can be had for prices ranging from $350 to over $500, dependent on condition, presence of all matched numbers, original condi tion of metal furniture, etc. My list of good Mauser receivers: The Oberndorfs 1903 Turk 1909 Peruvian 1909 Argentine 1935 Argentine Oberndorf commercial You can add the: VZ33 G33-40 VZ47 ZG47 The small ring Mexican by FN-M1910 or M1936 The ones by Fabrica de Armas are good The Brevex Magnum And last and the very desirable: Kurz short action small ring.
The Mauser 1909 was a slightly modified copy of the Gewehr 98. Among other modifications, the Lange Visier sight was replaced by a tangent leaf sight. The M1909 was also able to use the bayonet of the Mauser 1891 it replaced.[1] The main producer in Germany was Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken that delivered 200,000 rifles[[[Wikipedia:Citing_sources|page needed]]]-2'>[2] while around 85,000 rifles[1] were manufactured by the Fabrica Militar de Armas Portatiles, governmental plants in Rosario and Santa Fe. The Model 1909s were replaced by FN FALs[3] without having seen combat.[4]

Peruvian Mauser 1909[edit]
Peru received between 1910 and 1914 thousands of Mauser Model 1909 rifles, chambered in 7.65 Mauser. They were closer copies of the Gewehr 98, including the Lange Visier sight.[7] Aside from the caliber, the only differences were the larger receiver ring, the 5 mm (0.20 in) shorter breech, the slightly modified strip guide to use older Model 1891 strips, the longer hammer, the aspheric shape of the bolt handle and the Peruvian markings.[8] While these rifles were able to fire the old bullets with round nose, they were later adapted to spitzer bullets.[9] These weapons were used during the Leticia Incident and the Ecuadorian–Peruvian War.[10] After 1945, the Mauser 1909s were replaced by American weapons and were sold in the civilian market in the 1960s, a few being kept as ceremonial rifles.[11]
