Mauser model 1889 rifle is a manually operated rotary bolt action rifle. During 1930s, at least some of Belgian M1889 Mausers were converted into Model 1889/36 short rifles, which were destined for Civil Guard use. Argentinean pattern rifles also were adopted by several other South American countries, like Colombia, Ecuador or Peru. Turkish rifles were made by Mauser as a continuation of earlier contracts, and Argentinean rifles were initially made by Ludwig Loewe and later by DWM. Turkish and Argentinean Mausers of this pattern were produced in Germany.
