German Mauser M98 chambered in 7x57mm Mauser. Manufactured in 1937 by Mauser-Werke AG Oberndorf. This Model 98 Mauser is a Mauser-made Portuguese M/937A rifle reciever with Mauser-made Chilean Model 1935 Carbine parts, barrel, and stock.
The Portuguese M/937A rifles were manufactured between 1937-1938 as part of an export contract for 50,000 new rifles to replace Portugal's ageing Mauser-Vergueiro rifles, and were manufactured exclusively by the Mauser-Werke plant. These rifles were practically identical to the German K98 which had already been in mass production for roughly five years, with the only difference being the M/937A retaining the original front sight used on the Mauser-Vergueiro rifles.
The Chilean Model 1935 Carbine were manufactured in 1935 as another of Mauser's export contracts, this time for 10,000 rifles, meant to arm the relatively newly established Carabineros de Chile, a gendarmerie-style national police force. Chambered in 7x57mm Mauser, these rifles are frequently considered some of the best Mauser military rifles ever made.
While this rifle does have the Portuguese reciever, it is aesthetically and functionally identical to a standard Model 1935 Carbine. The reciever bears the Portuguese national crest with the date '1937' on the front, as well as German Waffenamt proofmarks on the right-hand side with the serial number and the text 'Mauser-Werke A.G. Oberndorf A./N.' The rest of the rifle has markings consistent with the Model 1935, including the letters 'C.Ch' present on the floorplate, bolt, and cleaning rod and a small star on most other parts.
