A stunning example indeed Didier. Your great pics truly reveal the magnificent craftsmanship and build of this rifle. Condition looks awesome and much to nice to shoot now or even back in 1937. LOL Thanks for sharing a rifle one can be proud to own.
A real museum quality piece. How often have we seen a rifle with it's matching serial numbered bayonet? Almost never.
Well, Anderson, if German WWII K98k rifles are indeed very rarely seen with their original matching bayonet, these Brazilian Mod. 1935s are the exception to the rule : most of them still have their matching serial numbered bayonet, as they were kept in storage right from the beginning and have never seen any service whatsovever in the Brazilian military. That said, their total production was only 7,000 long rifles plus 1,000 Mod. 1935 short rifles, so they are not what could be termed "common Mauser rifles".
Here is another exception : 1941 Portuguese Contract Mauser manufactured K98 rifle.
From the look of it, this 1941 Portuguese contract K98k hasn't seen much service either.
