Condition and mechanical assessment

Inspection notes highlight a 29 1/2″ round barrel with a bore described as good — frosting is visible in the grooves but the rifling remains strong. The rifle retains approximately 92% of its original blue finish and the stock is in very good condition with only light handling marks. The action is extremely smooth and functions correctly, making this piece both a display-quality collector firearm and a mechanically reliable shooter when handled by experienced owners.

Caliber and practical considerations

The 7.65x53mm Argentine cartridge delivers moderate recoil with effective long-range performance for its era. For collectors or historical shooters, it’s suitable for controlled range sessions with appropriate ammo and careful attention to headspace and chamber condition. Because serial numbers are noted as not matching, assume this rifle is best suited for display, careful range use, or restoration projects rather than as a primary hunting tool.

Why Loewe Berlin matters
