The Mauser Model 1889 is a Belgianbolt actionrifle fed with an internal 5-roundmagazine of 7.65×53mm Mauser. The Model 1889 can be distinguished from other mauser rifles through being an cock-and-closing rifle and featured a single-piece solid wooden body running most of the length of the weapon, ending just aft of the muzzle. It contained two bands, and iron sights were fitted at the middle of the receiver top and at the muzzle like virtually all other rifles of the time. It was designed in 1889 to replace the Albini-Braendlin and Comblain single-shots.
