With a little luck and a lot of patience I was able to add some rare Mausers to my collection.
From Top to Bottom
All Matching Including Stock Colombian FN1950 Carbine.
Mostly Matching True Brazilian 1908 Short. Stock has been sanded, but it is the correct letter block and has the correct rear sight and is in 7mm Mauser. Only 10,000 made and most were converted to 1908/34/.30. All the others Ive seen posted elsewhere so far have been fakes made from cutting down 1908 Long Rifles.
All Matching Czech Made Brazilian 1908/34 in 7mm Mauser. I've never seen a matching one in the States. Most were also converted to 1908/34/.30. In fact this one was for sale in Germany and was imported here by the seller.
All Matching FN Venezuelan Target Mauser Made for 1954 Pan Am Games. Only a few hundred made.
K98k bnz43 single rune bolt mismatch bringback. Won that one in raffle.
I'm happy to see some of these rifles coming to market for the first time in many years. I expect there will be more. Best part was the average price shipped was under $450 piece.

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Re: Another Mauser Haul
The Brazilian Mausers I picked up completed my Brazilian Mauser Collection.
Top to Bottom
1908 Long DWM
1908 Short DWM
1922 Carbine FN
1908/34 Czech Zbrojobko
1935 Short Mauser Werke
1935 Long Mauser Werke
1908/34/.30 Brazilian Itajuba
All are in 7mm Mauser except the last one is .30-06. All are all matching, except the 1908 Short and 1922 Carbine stocks and some small parts don't match but bolt and majority of parts do match.
Next one to complete is my Chilean Mauser Collection. Just need a matching 1895 Carbine.

Re: Another Mauser Haul
Lots of searching, deal making, and luck. Oddly other than the K98k, which I won on MeWe raffle, the rest were on GunBroker, but I made deals at prices below the starting bid, and sellers worked with me and ended auction early. I bid a lot on gunbroker, but usually don't buy much.ffuries wrote:Damn someone's been busy or lucky or something, nice haul that's for sure.........

Re: Another Mauser Haul
Looks like you did well.
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!
