One of the most noticeable features of the C-96 is the hollow wooden shoulder stock that doubled as a holster. Serial numbers match action, bolt, floorplate, these have the hinged floorplate.

My question concerns how the serial number system works and can a year of manufacture be estimated from the serial number. My son also owns a 1891 Mauser by Loewe made for Argentina, Serial Number E6xxx. 23.5 barrel, hardwood stock, inverted V front sight and an original graduated 1400-meter rear sight, with un-numbered cleaning rod. I own a 1891 Mauser, manufactured by Loewe of Berlin for Argentina, Serial Number A87xx. (Dates to late 1895 or early 1896.) Chambered in 7×57 Mauser.

The mismatched serial numbers from the reciever to the bolt,they should be the same or the bolt stub should match the last 3 or 4 numbers of the reciever number.if not the bolt is a substitute and bolts are NOT drop-in interchangable and headspace.at a minimum must be verified.However, from a personal standpoint, with SRM, I prefer to not only headspace but check the bolt lugs for contact to the reciever ways.at least a 70% contact is my minimum.YOU can do this by cleaning the bolt and the lug area recess in the reciever to 'pristine' apply ink.Dykem or a magic marker to the rear of the bolt lugs.then apply a light coating of a barrel lapping compound.like J-B Bore Paste to the same area insert the bolt and using a cleaning rod thru the muzzle.apply doesn't require much.then crank the bolt handle up and down a dozen times or so while maintaining the rearward pressure on the bolt the contact will buff away the ink and show you what is actually bearing.However this does NOT mean that is the contact you have with a cartridge in place the action must still not close on a No-Go gauge! The amount of shiny area on the bolt lugs tells you actually how much of the bolt is really involved in the lock up.it should be equal across both lugs.
