Original German Model 1895 Chilean Contract Mauser Rifle by Ludwig Loewe Berlin with Figured Stock - Serial H 5579 Italian Flags The 27th Infantry division appearsOriginal Item: Only One Available. This is a very good service used condition example of the Model 1895 Chilean Mauser Rifle, made by the renowned LUDWIG LOEWE ARMS COMPANY of BERLIN. It shows signs of being carried in service for a long time, though it shows little sign of actual firing use. There are no signs of being arsenal reconditioned, as many often were, so it has lots of all original patina. It also has a lovely flame figured lower stock,
