Sold for: $400
Description
A DWM Brazilian Mauser Model 1908 bolt-action military rifle, manufactured by Deutsche Waffen-und Munitionsfabriken Berlin. The receiver is clearly marked “DEUTSCHE WAFFEN-UND MUNITIONSFABRIKEN BERLIN.” and “MOD. 1908.”, bearing the serial number “B 9811 B”. The top of the receiver is engraved with the Coat of Arms of Brazil, encircled by the inscription “REPUBLICA FEDERATIVA DO BRASIL 15 DE NOVEMBRO DE 1889”. The rifle features a dark reddish-brown hardwood stock and various metal components, exhibiting a mostly blued or patinated finish. Additional markings on the barrel include “GERMANY” and “SPFLD ARMORY GENESF”, the latter likely an import mark from Springfield Armory, Geneseo, IL. The buttstock displays a circular cartouche with a star design. The bolt is serial numbered “9811 B”, matching the receiver.
Condition report:
Good, used condition. The hardwood stock exhibits expected wear, including scratches and dents commensurate with age and use. The metal components show finish loss and a patinated surface, with some light corrosion visible, particularly on the buttplate. Mechanically appears sound; functionality is untested.
