Rare Mauser Model 1871 Cutaway. This is a factory cutaway used for instructional purposes when demonstrating how the internal parts and design features work. This rare cutaway was part of a large collection we sold approximately 30 years ago and came from Mexico City. It was used for potential sales by Mauser for a Mexican Army contract that never came to fruition. This is the only example of a 1871 cutaway we have heard of or seen.
