What kind of Mauser is it and what's it worth?
Over the years I acquired a Mauser Carbine. On the left side of the receiver it is stamped Mauser Modelo Argentino 1891. Underneath that is Manufactura Loewe Berlin. The crest has been removed, all the serial #s match, including the stock. There is a little surface wear on the magazine, but the rest of the rifle is 95%. The serial # has the letter C before the #. The bolt is bent down and slightly to the rear.The top stock in front of the leaf sight is a oval stamp that contains what appears to be an RA in the center.On the bottom of the stock behind the trigger guard there is a stamp of a shield with the letters AG. The barrel is crowned and flush with the barrel band. There is a front plate with 2 screws on each side, and a 5 point star in the middle, and a hole underneath that. The bottom of the front band has a small rectangle cut out. Both sling attach.are perpendicular to the stock and swivel, not like the pictures I've seen of the cav. Model. I'm looking to trade it on Friday.

It's a Engineers Carbine according to Ball. There should be another barrel band about 3" back from the front one. There used to mount a obsolete Remington Rolling Block bayonet. Shame about the crest, never saw one that hadn't been removed though. Don't have a clue to what it would be worth to a military rifle collector. It would be best if you could post quality photos, for positive identification purposes.
EDIT #1, Found a photo of one on the net. Same as the bottom one in Mikes photo.

YOU RIFLE SHOULD LOOK LIKE ONE OF THESE, WITH THE SCRUBED CREST VALUE WOULD BE ABOUT $200/300. 0
