USED rifle German 88 mauser found in Argone forest in Nov. 10th 1918 no documintation. The Gewehr 88 has been the subject of controversy among gun experts for years. Because the rifle was loaded with a clip resembling that of the Mannlicher and based on his patents, it is often mistakenly referred to as the “Mannlicher” or as the “Mauser-Mannlicher.” Its official designation was “German Infantry Model 1888”; but it is often listed in Germany as “Mauser and Commission.”

This rifle was actually a development of the German Infantry Board or Commission and no receiver of this model ever bears the Mauser factory stamp. These arms were manufactured in huge numbers in a Mauser plant, but in 1888 finances of the Mauser Company had been taken over by the giant German firm of Ludwig Loewe and Company of Berlin and such rifles are usually stamped “Loewe, Berlin 1888, 1890, 1891” or simply “Gew. 88.”We have powder, primers, brass and bullets available as well, call to inquire.
