Peruvian 1909 Infantry rifle

[SVT-40]

This is what I found at the Phoenix SAR show this last Friday. I already have one in my collection, however that rifle is a bolt mis-match which is the most common way these rifles are found.

The rifle I got at the SAR show is completely matching and is in excellent plus condition. This rifle isn't importer marked, indicating it was imported into the US before 1968.

Hard to believe these were made over a century ago at Mauser's Oberndorf factory.

IMHO this rifle was the most beautiful of all the South American Mauser rifles. The Peruvian's specified that the receivers of these rifles were of a longer type so "Mauser Original" could be placed below the Peruvian national crest.

The rifles were also unusual that they were specified to be made with the Lange Vizier rear sight,which was found on the German GEW98 rifle.

I've searched for years to find a all matching example.

Enjoy!!

Beautiful! Your skills haggling with the seller were equally impressive

Very nice! I had a Czech refurb G98, but had to sell it to pay bill. Been missin' one ever since.

Congrats on a nice one. I had to import mine from Germany to get an all matching example, and obviously it has importer mark but it is discrete on the underside of the barrel.

That is one purty rifle. Used to see them like that often, now not so much.

I don't collect Mausers, but I would love to have one that nice. Hard to believe that it's over a hundred years old.

That is gorgeous, what a find!

Very nice find!

Wow. Looks brand new

It really is nice. Even better in person. The fire blue of the bolts and the stripper clip retainer are just beautiful. The bolts which hole the trigger guard in place are even numbered and matching.

Plus I got it for a very reasonable price. $800.00 The seller was a retired Customs Agent. So I got "the good guy discount" Also made a new friend!!

The stock needs a gentle cleaning as the wood is a bit dirty. But other than that it's ready to be displayed.

I also have a nice original sling which I've had on my other Peruvian 1909 that I'm going to put on this one.

These rifles are beautifully made, and you got it for a damn good price given that it's all matching, which is rare for these rifles.
