If each letter block is representative of 9,999 rifles then there were approx 140,000 long rifles made by Loewe. This third type has more serial numbers, in my case, than the second type. On the right ring is the serial number and on the left rail is D.G.F.M.-(F.M.A.P.). #17) On the top ring is the Argentine crest. These are marked on top of the receiver ring with the large Argentina crest and the left side of the receiver is marked 'MAUSER MODELO / ARGENTINO 1909', and the receiver side wall is marked 'DEUTSCHE WAFFEN UND / MUNITIONSFABRIKEN, BERLIN'.
