1909 Argentine Mauser Serial Number Lookup

Ammo Pouch, Single Pocket, Brown Leather, Original WWI Era (w/o Ring) Manufacturer: MAUSER. Model: 1909 ARGENTINE. Product #: 1153730. I own a 1891 Mauser, manufactured by Loewe of Berlin for Argentina, Serial Number A87xx. My son also owns a 1891 Mauser by Loewe made for Argentina, Serial Number E6xxx. My question concerns how the serial number system works and can a year of manufacture be estimated from the serial number. Why the letter at the beginning of the serial number? It is very accurate. It is a 1909 Argentine Mauser in 30.06. It is very accurate and fun to shoot. The numbers on the barrel, bolt and receiver match. The bolt is turned down. The stock has been altered with the upper hand guard missing. There is no bayonet lug nor any trace of one. The numbers on the stock do not match. I do not know how to.

Serial

The rifle with which this example was issued was made in 1900 by Deutsche Waffen-und Munitionsfabriken (DWM).

Most have aluminum alloy grips, like this example. Some have brass grips. There has been a lot of fiction spread regarding the brass grips being for the Navy, for NCO's, and the like. None of that is true. According to Webster's well-documented book on Argentine Military Rifles:

The aluminum grip scales were part of an effort to lighten the bayonet. The grip metal is an alloy of aluminum, with 6 percent copper.

Argentina opted for the 15.75 inch blade, after seeing that Chile was going to adopt a shorter (10-inch blade) bayonet for their Mausers. However, the prototype bayonets turned out heavier than the Argentines liked, so they made a number of design changes (thinner blade, slimmer hilt, and others).

Mauser

They went ahead with the brass grip scales, initially, so as not to further delay production. Brass-gripped bayonets were made 1892–93. Production switched to aluminum grip, mid-1893, after producing 40,000 brass grip bayonets. 190,000 aluminum grip bayonets were made, 1893–1898.

Most M1891 rifles and bayonets were exported to the USA in the 1950s and 1960s, when Argentine export laws required that the national crest be ground away before being sold.
