This company would go on to become a major arms manufacturer, which exists today as FN Herstal.Īt the same time, the Ottoman Empire had a contract for Model 1877 Turkish Mausers, which were based on the model 1871. This resulted in the founding of Fabrique Nationale d'Armes de Guerre, owned in part by Ludwig Loewe, to manufacture the Model 1889 Belgian Mauser. At the time, Belgium was looking to bolster its domestic arms industry, and felt that manufacturing a Mauser Design would really help them in this goal.

However, Mauser already had supplied arms to numerous countries, and when they were looking to update their rifles, they came back to Mauser. Unfortunately they failed to convince the Commission to reverse its decision, and the attempt to win over Bavaria did not succeed either.

The Mauser Company then set about trying to sell this new design. The main features were the ability to use stripper clips to feed the magazine (a revolution in rate of fire), and its rimless cartridge (7.65 Argentine Mauser), advanced for the time. The two rifles became known as the 89 Belgian (with a barrel shroud) and the 91 Argentine (with a 71 layout) Mausers, identical in their function and feed system. In the meantime, Paul Mauser created two different variations of the same rifle, one with a stock strengthened with a barrel shroud and a traditional design following the layout of the 71 series, in hope he might be able to overturn the commission's decision, or at least sell his design to the Kingdom of Bavaria, which adopted its own arms. The commission preferred to create their own design, which was what became the Gewehr 1888, often called the "Commission Rifle". Because of setbacks brought on by Wilhelm Mauser's death, they failed to have the design completed by 1882, and the German Rifle Test Commission ( Gewehr-Prüfungskommission) was formed. After the Mauser brothers finished work on the Model 71/84 for Germany in 1880, the design team set out to create a small caliber repeater that used smokeless powder. This is a great nice example of the Model 1891 Argentine Mauser rifle, one of many "export" models made for foreign governments, all based on the Mauser Model 1889. shall have no responsibility for any error or omission.Original Item: Only one available.
