South American Mausers - Good Reference Materials?

[Andy]

Can anyone recommend a good book, website, etc. that covers the various South and Central American mausers and other firearms?

Mausers

Richard Ball's "Mausers of the World" (3rd edition) covers the South American contracts. A little light on information, but pretty good pics.
I'm interested to see others suggestions also.

I put in an advance order with Amazon for the fourth edition - comes out in Sept.

Hi Andy ...

I'm not sure if you're including Argentina in your request for South American Mauser reference material.

If so, then in my opinion, the best book on the market for Argentine rifles is Argentine Mauser Rifles 1871-1959 by Colin Webster ISBN:0-7643-1868-3.

It's beautifully written and has some of the best close up photography in a firearms reference book that I've ever seen.

Regards,
Badger

Badger,

While the Argentine (and Brazilian) is in a class by itself, yes, I was including it. Thanks.
