I found a pretty decent custom Oberndorf - a Peruvian 1909 in .270 WCF. Nothing fancy, just what looks like a competently done sporter. Condition is very good with some pluming evident on the receiver - some scratches and dents on the stock, but nothing bad. 22" barrel - don't know the make, flag safety. Price is a bit over $500.00.
I'm not familiar with the Peruvian 1909 - is it the same as the Argentine?

No, it's not.
IIRC the bolt is funky somehow on Peruvian 1909's.

The 1909 Peruvian has the same footprint (mostly) as the 1909 Argentine, it is a standard length 98 as far as action screw spacing goes. However, it utilizes an intermediate length bolt. The actions were very well made, quality on par with the Argentine.

Yup, and High Charger hump, longer barrel shank, etc. But since it is already rebarreled.....

Any sound Mauser sporter is worth $500 IMO.
What fresh Hell is this?

Thanks Fellers. I always wanted a 1909 Argentine, but I'll give this Peruvian some thought.

The Peruvian is much harder to find. An intermediate size action, it is perfect for a 7 x 57.
A large ring with a small barrel shank,, Tom Burgess would often grind the sides of receiver rings down to make a small ring action

Yes, Tom would ovalize the receiver ring gives it a unique look and allows the stock and barrel to be thinner. But it is a standard length action with intermediate length bolt.

The FN contract Peruvians were properly hardened from the get go...occasionally some of the Argentines had soft receivers, usually discovered after the locking lugs imprinted.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Can't help re CF Thread history locator, but alternative might be a bunch of good photos If not too extensively modified. Just guestimate suggestion for expert analysis! Also, such yet available nomenclature including serial numbers (semi as normally OK), Otherwise... Just an idea of what you're up against... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FN_Model_24_and_Model_30And good luck! Best & keep Safe! John

Can anyone put up the crests of the Peruvian, and Chilean, Mausers? I have one, or the other in storage, but can't remember which !

The 1912 Steyrs were right there with the DWM 1908 & 1909's as far as quality.
