Uruguay Mauser Model 1871/94
Bought this in a 2-gun deal from a friend. I did some research on it about 5 years ago for him
and posted it on here. Now it will literally be a $$$$ wall hanger for me as there is no ammo unless you load your
own, and I don't. Among the photos on that earlier post is one that shows a stamp "82.1880". Was it actually
made in 1880? Anyway, here is the link to the previous post, the rifle has an interesting history.

Peace is that brief, quiet moment in history.......... when everybody stands around reloading.

A shame about the ammo situation.
It really is a great looking rifle. Maybe you'll eventually sell it to someone that wants to try reloading that round.

I literally bought it to hang on the wall, am looking for a military reproduction sword to go with it.
Once I get it up, it will probably be there until I die........

Yes, it is too late. I have neither the place, the equipment, nor the desire to reload.

Amazon called it a US Model 1860 Light Cavalry Sabre. But it is a replica made in India, so who
knows what it really is a replica of. Looks generic to me, but I like it on the wall. It is surprisingly
sturdy and seems well made, but I wouldn't try to sharpen it and take it into battle and use it......
