1935 Brazilian Mauser Short

I have searched over 2 years for a 1935 Brazilian Mauser Short Rifle and I finally found it. There were supposedly 1,000 of the Short Rifle made. They fall in serials 1,000-1999 however there have been at least a half a dozen long rifles observed in that serial range so it's possible there were less than 1,000 made. These were also used by Brazil unlike the Long Rifles. Many were used hard. To have an all matching one in the condition it is in was well worth the wait.

Yes but I was very happy with the final price. It was less than half of what I was willing and prepared to bid to.

Well, I'm pretty satisfied with mine - but the condition of yours it can't beat... Congrats - probably the best-looking one of this model I've seen so far.

Mucho fino. What is that cheek mangler/tooth buster on the left buttstock?

My backyard. It's about 50/50 grass and weeds, but it all looks green. Been growing super fast. Gets cut once a week and after about 5 days I start to lose the kids shih tzu in it.

So if those were made in Germany, the parts are the same as K-98? Are they a K-98 with Brazil markings essentially? That ones muy fino Hombre.

They most closely resemble a Mauser Standard Modell with Brazilian Markings. The finish and workmanship IMO is much nicer on the 1935 Contract Rifles and the Standard Modell. Off the top of my head I don't know the exact differences between them and the K98k.

The Brazilian M1935 SR is with a barrel length of 21.5" and an overall length of 42.0" a little bit shorter than the K98k (23.62" and 43.60" respectively). Additionally, the front sight has protective "ears", which are on the K98k only found with the Portuguese contract variants.

What are the specs on the standard model?

Both the Standard Model Short Rifle and the Standard Model Carbine of 1933 listed in Robert Ball's book have identical dimensions to the K98k. Only difference between these two Standard Models recognizable to me is that the carbine has the butt stock sling recess of the K98k, which the short rifle is lacking.

Huh I thought they were the same as the 1935 short rifles. Just seemed to make sense with the time frame. I don't have one (yet) to say for sure. Thank you for the info.
