I have a 1909 Argentine (DWM-Berlin) Mauser, in very good condition. I'm wondering if any of you Mauser aficionados, could tell me the date it was manufactured, or direct me to a site where I can check it out??

Serial number is L7xxx.

Many thanks. L.W.

I don't know, but for the sake of visiting, I have them in the following A14xx, B10xx, K55xx, and G91xx. So I would like to know where to find this out as well. If I were to take a stab at it, I was under the impression that when DWM took these contracts they made them all at once. I would imagine then that most were made in 1909 or thereabouts, and that they made them in batches, using the various letters of the alphabet. FYI the 1908 Brazilian is the identical receiver and bolt, although the bottom metal is different.

Hi:

As you know, the "Mauser Modelo Argentino 1909" has 3 variants:
- the Infantry rifle (similar to the 98 Gebehr), named "Fusil de Infantería" in spanish,
- the Engineer's carbine (similar to the Kar98k), named "Carabina de Ingenieros",
- and the Cabalry carbine (similar to the Engineer'r carbine in dimentions, but with differences on the wooden stock), named "Carabina de Caballería" in spanish.

I own an M1909 DWM Infantry rifle in near perfect condition, serial number C21xx, so as the above mentioned numbering, it would be manufactured in 1910.

I'm interested in buying a M1909 DWM Engineer's carbine ("Carabina de Ingenieros"), almost perfect (it seems that it was never shoot). Its serial number is A36xx.

Can you help me know its year of manufacture?

Thank you and best regards.
