Original German Mauser Model 1871/84 Magazine Rifle by Spandau Arsenal Dated 1888 - Serial No 4958 Receiver Also see STONE'S GLOSSARY pagesOriginal Item: Only One Available. This is a nice example of the Mauser Model 1871 84 rifle, which is covered with Imperial German inspection and acceptance markings on the metal work, though they are a bit worn in places. The serial number 4958 appears on the barrel, bolt, and receiver, while the barrel bands, butt plate, and many screws and other parts have shortened number 58. This definitely qualifies as "all matching". The receiver is dated 1888.
