The left side of the receiver is marked with the production information: The Ludwig Loewe serial number records for the Argentine contract indicate that serial numbers A0000 to C4999 were produced in 1892, so this rifle was made probably made in the second quarter of that year. The serial numbers were issued sequentially with a single letter prefix. It has all matching serial numbers, with A 4725 on the barrel and receiver, while the stock has serial number A 5626. This example, like all of the Argentine Mausers made before 1896, was made by the renowned Company LUDWIG LOEWE of BERLIN, which from 1887 was actually part owner of Mauser Waffenfabrik. This is a very nice example of the Model 1891 Argentine Mauser rifle, one of many "export" models made for foreign governments, all based on the Mauser Model 1889.
