Orden Y Patria: Carabineros de Chile Model 1935 Mauser

The Carabinieros de Chile were formed in 1927 by combining the Rural Police, Fiscal Police, and Corps of Carabinieros into a single national police organization. We do not have an organization like this in the United States, but they are fairly common elsewhere in the world, acting as sort of a combination of National Guard, FBI, and police.
At any rate, the Carabinieros needed rifles, and in 1935 they placed an order for 10,000 carbines from Mauser in Oberndorf. These were chambered for 7x57mm Mauser (the standard Chilean military cartridge) and were all delivered prior to the outbreak of World War Two. They are excellent quality rifles, and feature a number of unique markings, most notable the receiver crest of crossed rifles over the Carbinieros motto, “Orden Y Patria”. They also have a unique sling arrangement, with the original Mauser quick-detach fitting fixed permanently in place by the addition of a saddle ring for mounted use.
This particular example is all matching, including the cleaning rod, and has very nice distinct stock markings.

The Chileans are very heavily influenced by the German military of the 20th century. I worked with their military for a few weeks in 2015, like all soldiers done traded badges, their expert infantry badge has a stahlhelm on it and they parade with K98s and very Germanic looking uniform tunics.

Back in 1977 I bought a 1895 Chileno Mauser for $50.00 from a gun dealer still covered in cosmoline. After getting it cleaned up I discovered that all matching serial #'s and the blueing was near 100% with the bore and chamber near perfect. Other than rack wear on the wood furniture it looked to be unissued. In 7mm Mauser it was an excellent shooter and very accurate with good commercial ammo and surplus ammo was available back then for 100 rounds for $15.00 berdan primed.

European equivalents for the Carabineros de Chile are, among others: Carabinieri (Italy), Gendarmerie Nationale (France), Guarda Nacional Republicana (Portugal), and Guardia Civil (Spain). For a full list of gendarmeries present and past: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gendarmeries

[@cleibealvesteixeirajunior5923]

In Brazil, every state has it's own military police force. They function as regular police forces, yet they have military status, and they are considered a reserve of the armed forces, so they can be drawn into service and deployed in case of war... I'm planning on joining my state's police next year.

[@mbravos]

Just to clear a little bit the role of Carabineros, actually there are two police forces in Chile: "Carabineros de Chile" and "Policía de Investigaciones" (or PDI, literally "Investigation Police"). Basically Carabineros is military branch tasked with law enforcement, counter-terrorism and [land] border patrol, while PDI is a civilian organization that carries the investigations for the courts and handles the immigration checks.

[@NicolasSilvaVasault]

you missed the gope (like a sort of swat team) which is also a police force

[@lookalterno3591]

GOPE (Grupo Operaciones Especial) is a branch of Carabineros, not an independent police

[@alvaroma-shichoyfuentes9846]

And PDI has one of their own, ERTA (Equipo de Reacción Táctica)

[@RammGmbH]

You should also point out that, even though they have paramilitary roots, they are the actual everyday-police force.

[@ragnaroknibba6083]

Wow im chilean, and never expected to see a chilean gun here haha Also people, take into consideration these were frontier rifles. Back then chile was a wild place. Corvo fights where common place and that was the tip of the iceberg. This happened in the border with our "lovely" neoghboring coubtries. A combination of factors made these pacos (i.e cops) use these in those areas

Most interesting! Thank you Ian , for that

[@nathanboulton2066]

Thanks for another awesome video

[@SuiLagadema]

In case he reads this: Carabineros is basically a mainly police force with military training. You will see them on the streets patrolling like you would in the US and doing pretty much everything that any police force does around the world. The special training comes in case of war, in which they'll provide internal security, both policing and searching for saboteurs. Basically it allows the army to fight the battles w/o having to worry about the population because they're being taken care of by Carabineros. Former army grunt here who has friends in the institution.

[@user-dx3jw1qc9i]

I owned ser# 17 for quite a few years; everything matched, including the cleaning rod. Beautiful carbine and quite accurate. Most folks don’t know it, but European specs call for a barrel groove diameter of from .285+ to .287+, while the US has always been.284”. A lot of South American military ammo has bullets measuring .286”.

I have one. It's a very comfortable shooter in 7mm and a very handy rifle. Also, it's a (relatively) cheap way to buy some legendary interwar Mauser quality. The odd-looking front sight protectors are designed so that you can slip the muzzle bands over them when de-stocking the rifle.

Serial numbers on cleaning rods might be for other reasons than a German obsession. Perhaps conscripts have a tendency to use the rods for unauthorised resons and damage them (for examle , using the rods as skuwers over bonfires). Later, to avoid responsibility some conscripts might be tempted to steal a rod from another soldier: the serial number on the rod would prevent it.

[@a2falcone]

Some needed clarification: Carabineros (not Carabinieros, which is an italianization, as much of what is said here about them) is the MAIN, every-day police force of Chile, by size and role. They don't do police work "as well", they do police work only. Since 2011, they're under the Ministry of Interior, not Defense. They're not really comparable to any existing force in the US or an amalgamation of them, since Chile isn't a federal state, so the federal-local jurisdiction distinction isn't a thing. The best explanation is that they're the only preemptive police force in Chile, that is, a police force intended to prevent or stop crimes, instead of investigating them after the fact (though they do a lot of the latter too). They're a militarized police, in the sense that they have a military-style hierarchy and administration. On another note, kudos on the pronunciation of "Chile".

[@fullmindstorm]

[@alejandrovargas6138]
