Historical significance and identifying marks

The Oviedo Arsenal produced rifles that followed classic Mauser principles and influenced bolt-action design worldwide. This example retains its vintage character: crest and date markings are still visible on the receiver and stock, which helps verify provenance for collectors. The 1922 date places the rifle in an important transitional period for Spanish military arms, making it desirable for those focused on Spanish military history.

Condition, function, and collector value

This rifle’s action cycles properly and the bolt locks up solidly — core functional checks for any historic bolt-action offered for sale. The wood and metal show normal age-appropriate wear rather than heavy abuse, preserving both aesthetic and mechanical integrity. For collectors and shooters of historic rifles, that balance is critical: original configuration increases collectible value, while reliable lock-up supports limited range use after proper inspection by a qualified gunsmith.
