Chilean Mauser Model 1912 Bolt Action Military Rifle by Waffenfabrik Steyr, 7mm Caliber
Sold for: $350
Description
A Chilean Mauser Model 1912 bolt-action military rifle, manufactured by Waffenfabrik Steyr, Austria, dating to the early 20th century. The rifle features a full-length dark stained wooden stock and steel components. The receiver is prominently marked “MODELLO 1912” and “WAFFENFABRIK STEYR AUSTRIA”, and displays an engraved Chilean crest. Serial numbers “B 2489” are present on the receiver and bolt handle. The stock is marked “H 2489”. The barrel is marked “CAL. 30 ALT VT” and “M18 7MM GERMANY”, indicating a 7mm caliber and a likely German origin for a modification or re-barrel. Functional elements include a ladder-style rear sight, a blade front sight, sling swivels, and an under-barrel cleaning rod.
Condition report:
Fair to good overall condition. The wooden stock exhibits wear, scratches, and darkening. Metal components show bluing loss, surface wear, and patination. The serial numbers on the receiver and bolt handle match (\"B 2489\"), but the stock bears a different serial number (\"H 2489\"), indicating a parts mismatch. The barrel markings suggest a re-barrel or modification.
