This video delves into the history and specifications of the Serbian 1899 Mauser rifle, also known as the M1895 Mauser. It details Serbia's need for modern firearms in the late 19th century due to their outdated M1880 rifles. The acquisition of 90,000 Mauser 1895 pattern rifles in 7x57mm caliber from DWM, manufactured to bypass Mauser's commitments to Turkey, is highlighted. The narrative touches upon the rifle's service in World War I against Austro-Hungarian forces and its eventual loss and replacement with French arms following the Serbian retreat to Corfu. The video also mentions subsequent Serbian Mauser models like the 1899/07 and Model 1910.
