This is a very nice example of the Model 1891 Argentine Mauser carbine, one of many "export" models made for foreign governments, all based on the Mauser Model 1889. 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. It has mostly matching serial numbers, with B 4190 on the barrel,
