Rare Hopkins & Allen 1889 Belgian Mauser Prototype
Recently acquired from a Connecticut estate is this near mint prototype of the Belgian contract 1889
Mauser rifle by Hopkins & Allen of nearby Norwich where the company was located. It had resided in
a collection for over 60 years until it came to us. Aside from the numeral 5 ahead of the magazine and
the normal rear sight it is unmarked. According to owner who had family connections to H&A, this gun
was one of several prototypes produced to exhibit that the company could manufacture a rifle to the
Belgian's standards.WWI brought critical arms shortages and Belgium contracted in 1915, for the
manufacture of 140,000 Model 1889 rifles. H&A greatly underestimated the demand and cost of
materials and labor in time of war and underbid the contract which ultimately led to its bankruptcy.
These Mausers are easily identified by the “Hopkins and Allen Arms Co. Norwich, Conn. U.S.A.”
marking on the receiver and most all were shipped overseas and saw hard service during WW1 and
after. This specimen is in amazingly untouched condition with 99.99% original deep blue and wood
showing just very minor storage marks. It shows no evidence of ever being fired.
