Second Variant Mauser Model 1914 -Early Production Serial Number 2850 - 13500 approximately. These early Model 1914 pistols are identical to the late Humpback pistols with the two-line slide inscription, except that the slide is not milled down over and in front of the ejection port. Some time around serial number 162,500 the right side of the slide is stamped “Mauser 7.65”. Around serial number 277,000 the milled panel on the frame was discontinued. 1910/14 model, this variation was manufactured between 1921 to 1928 with a serial number range between 221800 to 345000. This version will be found with 7 slide serrations. Graeme Caselton ([email protected]) kindly supplied the following rough breakdown of model variations, dates and serial numbers pertaining to the C96 Mauser. I deeply regret to report that he did so at the time he was about to hand in his 1915 Std. Wartime Commercial for destruction under Britain's new and reprehensible ban on the private.
- There is a book available on Amazon by Colin Webster called 'Argentine Mauser Rifles, 1871 to 1959' It is supposed to have all serial number data. The way I understand the production of the Mauser's including the 1891 is that each letter block is representative of 9,999 rifles, Loewe produced approximately 35,000 per year for Argentina which.
- There were two basic versions of this pistol: one made between early 1911 and July 1913, and another, updated version introduced in January 1914. Those made before 1914 have serial numbers between 1 and 61,000 and those made during or after 1914 have serial numbers between 61,000 and 152,000 (1914-1917) and between 200,000 and 403,000 (1919-1934).

It is somewhat ironic that the rifles we in North America know so well as the 'Swedish Mauser' were never called that by the military in Sweden. Swedish Mauser is a term that was firstapplied to these fine rifles when they reached the surplus arms market. The correct designation is 'Light Infantry Rifle.'
All Swedish Mausers were manufactured by one of three companies: Mauser, Oberndorf am Neckar, Germany; Carl Gustafs Gevärsfaktoriet, Eskskilstuna, Sweden (Carl Gustaf's CityRifle Factory) and Husqvarna Vapenfabriks AB, Husqvarna, Sweden. Production began in 1894 with 52 prototype carbines and continued uninterrupted at Carl Gustaf from 1898 to 1925and intermittently into the 1930s. Production was resumed in 1941 at Husqvarna and ended in 1944. Production at the Mauser factory took place from 1895-1896 (m/94 carbines) andagain between 1896-1900 when rifles only were manufactured.
The following paragraphs provide a quick overview of the main Swedish Mauser models and variants. Following are reproductions of two pages from the book, 'The Swedish MauserRifles' that illustrate the part-by-part description contained in all 'For Collectors Only' books.
