EOD - bombs and bullets
I picked this little beauty up earlier this year....I picked this up in conjunction with a really nice Kar 88...I just really liked the look and condition...once I got it and did some research, I find that these aren't all that common. If my research was correct, Loewe only made 5000 of these under contract from Spain from leftover parts from an unfulfilled Argentine contract. That is why they are in 7,65 Mauser, as opposed to 7mm. Eventually Spain sent almost all of these to Cuba, and many are likely Span-Am captures eventually sold to Bannerman's...
In any case it is in really decent shape IMHO...stock is beautiful, and metal is nicely patina'd but in good shape. The ring seems to be original. There are no import marks....
The crest is a little light, and the Berlin rondel in the butt is faint, but readable in person. The only thing I can find that's odd is the bolt is un-numbered, but seems proper, and the patina and finish match the rest of the metal.
I really like this little carbine, it goes great next to the Kar 88. And like I said, seems like they aren't too common...
