Like I said, it looks new as to condition. From another forum, I discovered the little rifle is quite rare in its present state. I can repair the two little holes to the point they won't be noticed (my forte).Īnyway, I am going to pull the ad for the little rifle and keep it. When I find the two bayonet bands, I will buy them for the heck of it, as well as a bayonet, but not install them. I found a front sight guard for $25 and ordered it. All I need to do to return it to original condition is replace the front sight guard. Later, they made two bands to attach a bayonet, and the rear of the two bands had a front sling swivel, and a plate replaced the tie down loop and a rear sling swivel was placed on the side of the stock. It was made in 1895 in the second lot made by Lowe, and has no sling swivels. Turns out there is no missing sling swivel. I am a Springfield guy and don't know much about Mausers. I did some research on the little Calvary Carbine (not engineer's carbine). It is an all original Argentine Calvary Carbine, and the loop behind the trigger guard is a scabbard tie down loop, not a sling swivel.
