I did see it, I added the report sometime ago. I also noted the interpretation, though I am in no position to judge his assertion. He could be right, but most sellers know next to nothing on the rifles and even less on the historical context...
My library is rather focused too, so next to nothing on South America. There are a couple guys on Gunboards-Mauser that are pretty sharp on SA, but I have enough projects underway and no time to add another.

Paul there is another 71 Mauser with the H markings on GB no.730067496. If you haven't seen it would be worth your time to look it is a little different the serial number is 6603 .0 and there is a large E.N. stamped with the H on the barrel and the right side of the stock. The seller states it is one of 500 71s bought for a rebellion in Argentina and lists a couple of books as proof.
