The crest is there but covered by the scope mount. I spent many hours cleaning the bore but it paid off. The rifle shoots great; limited only by the owner.:-) I handload, shoot 150 grain bullets and limit the pressure. It has been my favorite hunting rifle for many years. The question about serial numbers, after all these years, came up when my son was recently given a 1891. This is my first response in the new Jouster so please excuse any goofs. The 'old dog' is learning a new trick. To Musketshooter- My 1891 does not have the flange in front of the magazine well and to the best of my memory neither does my son's. Do you have any info on the total number of 1891's produced for Argentina? I am just an outdoorsman with an interest in guns as a 'tool of the trade'. Thank you for the info on the magazine flange change. The use of a limited length serial number and prefix/suffix was just a way to avoid long serial numbers and simplify the numbering process itself, which was largely a manual operation. ![]() Numbers would run 1-9999, then A1-A9999, then B1-B9999 and so on. When Z9999 was reached, the next number would be AA1-AA9999, then AB1-AB9999, etc. In WWII, arms were marked with the year of manufacture, and serial numbering started over with the new year, regardless of where it left off at the end of the previous year. That allows some idea of the quantities produced, and hence an approximate date for a given number, but only in a general way. BTW, some Mausers, even military contract rifles, did have more than four digit numbers, as did commercial rifles. This may help.
