This is a very nice service used condition example of the Model 1895 Chilean Mauser Artillery Short Rifle, made by the renowned LUDWIG LOEWE ARMS COMPANY of BERLIN. It shows signs of long service, but does not have any major wear or damage from abuse. This gives it a lovely worn patina that is simply impossible to duplicate. The Ludwig Loewe company was actually part owner of Mauser Waffenfabrik from 1887 onward,
