No, this was specifically used by engineering and artillery troops of the Argentine army. The cavalry carbine is just a shortened version of the 1891 infantry long rifle but with no bayonet lug.
I have a batch of these, Infantry rifles, engineer carbines like the one in the video and also the calvary carbine, All in good shape, matching numbers and with the crest intact. Some were obviously parade rifles, show pieces!
My Dad has a 1909 Argentine it is a tack driver. It's amazing that a rifle that's over a100 years old is still a great gun .
MAUSERS ROCK!!!
Very interesting rifle. Great find and definitely a collector's item. Thanks for sharing.
oh wow does it have an intact crest? that's a rare rifle indeed. that's worth more than $425. what a lucky find.
yep intact crest
If they were in an available cartridge id be really interested
I got a Peruvian Navy 1891 Mauser Carbine and fucking love it
Great video, Thanks buddy
I love it. Beautiful gun. I can only hope to get my hands on one just like it one day
Thanks, nice video ,I've got an infantry one but unfortunately the crest was grinded out...
Calvary?

Nice carbine....patterned after the Belgian 1889 Mauser...
