German military '1909/26 Cavalry Carbine', chambered for 7.65x53mm Mauser and imported by Interarms, Alexandria VA. Appears to be an older import with no stamping of import marks, rather a gold colored sticker on bottom of stock provides importer information. Receiver is marked "MAUSER MODELO ARGENTINO 1909", "DEUTSCHE WAFFEN-UND MUNITIONSFABRIKEN BERLIN", and has Argentine national crest on receiver ring. Features blued finish (receiver and bolt in the white) approx 22.5" barrel, full length stock with muzzle cap/sight protector, manual safety, hinged floorplate, turned-down bolt handle, side mounted sling swivels. Bluing is 85%, turning gray at triggerguard and bayonet lug band, with bare metal on high spots and sharp edges. Receiver and bolt are in very good condition. Bore is dark with strong rifling. Stock is in good serviceable condition, with cracks and small areas of wood missing from forend, several dings and dents in various places. Buttplate fit is poor, extends past wood at heel, probably due to wood loss in this area. Stock wrist shows inlaid repair piece that may be arsenal replacement of a previous sling bar or similar. Observed numbers match. Missing front sight blade. Condition is NRA Good ***C&R Firearm*** [From the Jim Wilkinson Rifle Ranch Collection]
