Very good condition WWII Belgian Model 1889/36 Mauser rifle in 7.65 x 53mm caliber that is marked “MANUFACTURE D’ARMES DE L’ETAT” on the receiver. This interesting rifle was originally made as a Model 1889 long rifle and later arsenal converted to more closely resemble the Model 1935 Mauser Short Rifle. Rifle is NOT import marked and has all matching serial numbers except the floorplate. Metal finish is original black showing some normal wear. Bore is bright and excellent with strong rifling. Stock has original finish and shows some normal handling marks. Left side of stock has a matching serial number below the receiver. Right side buttstock has a nice 1936 dated roundel cartouche. Complete with correct original cleaning rod. A hard to find Belgian M89/36 Mauser Rifle that will make a fine addition to a collection.
