One Rifle ID

I can say with confidence the cop in the back has a Vetterli Model 1869/70. Pretty interesting weapon for 1960s Uruguay. Guess he came late to the handing out of weapons at the station and got stuck with the antique black powder bolt-action. --PyramidHead (talk) 11:32, 6 July 2020 (EDT)

Added! Many thanks, PyramidHead! --Ssantusky (talk) 19:31, 6 July 2020 (EDT)

The kneeing police officer in the second picture aims a 1909 Argentine Mauser rifle (note the auxiliary bayonet lug mounted beneath the muzzle). I'm not sure, but the rifles in the first and third picture look like Argentine M1909/26 Cavalry Carbines.--HighPhigh (talk) 01:58, 7 July 2020 (EDT)

Thanks HighPhigh, I was going to ID some of these as Mauser Modelo Argentino 1909 models (the only one I was somewhat sure about), but I wasn't too sure myself about the rest in general, and wanted some opinions first (I'm not very well versed when it comes to old cavalry rifles).--Ssantusky (talk) 05:50, 7 July 2020 (EDT)
