This is an example of a Peruvian contract Mauser Model 1909 rifle. The chamber is marked with the large Peruvian seal over "MAUSER ORIGINAL", the left side is marked with two proofmarks and the serial number. The matching serial number is marked on the left rear of the barrel and the left side wall is marked "WAFFENFABRIK-OBERNDORF A/N / MODELO 1909". The bolt assembly is mismatched, otherwise the visible numbers match including the stock. Blade front sight and "ski-ramp" tangent rear sight with graduation markings on the sides, and mounted with a smooth pistol grip stock with matching handguard, flat iron buttplate and leather sling. The right rear of the stock is marked with a proofmark and the Mauser banner, conjoined "M"s on the grip and the serial number on the bottom. Complete with a slotted cleaning rod, brown leather sling and muzzle/front sight cover.

Excellent. The rifle retains 95% original blue finish with wear and scratched on the front barrel band. The receiver and bolt assembly remain bright showing some speckled discoloration. The stock is very fine with overall scattered minor dents, dings and scratches. The sling is fine showing some minor wear and age cracking. The markings are crisp and clear. The action is excellent.
