An excellent example of a pre-war commercial rifle manufactured by the Mauser rifle company for the government of Peru. Blade front and "ski ramp" tangent rear sights, with the receiver marked "REPUBLICA DEL PERU/(national crest)/MAUSER ORIGINAL" on the front ring and "WAFFENFABRIK MAUSER-OBERNDORF a/n/MODELO 1909" on the side wall. Matching numbers are present overall, except on some unnumbered minor components. Smooth pistol grip stock, with the conjoined "M/W" on the wrist, Mauser banner on the right side, and a flat steel buttplate.
