Beautiful piece..... 
Nice find ...
I collect and shoot these old South American Mausers ....
I have two Brazilian 1908's (7x57) and a Brazilian 1935 (7x57), all look like they were made yesterday. Like yours, they came with matching bayonets and scabbards. I also have a "shooter" 1908 with a gorgeous bore, but she had obviously been fired before and the light wood knocks indicate she had seen some service.
They are all "in the white" and in my opinion, some of the finest examples of Mauser workmanship.
In the last 8-12 months, for the three in virtually new condition, I paid between $350 and $500. The used one I picked up at a gun show last month for $200.
BTW, I also have several 1909 Argentines (7.65x53) in similar condition to the Brazilians with matching bayonets and scabbards. One of my better finds was a 1909 full military Argentine sniper rifle, mounted with a 1927 Nedinsco-Zeiss 4x31 riflescope. Like the Brazilians, they are also fine examples of Mauser workmanship, but the caliber is a little odd.

I have a 1935 Mauser new and unfired. Did not come with a bayonet or test target though. The cost of this rifle was just the 25 dollar registration transfer fee. I think it was a pretty good deal! It is a very beautiful rifle, a really good example of pre-war build quality. I can't bring myself to fire it though...

I only own one and sadly bubba got to it before me.. But the thing shoots better then any of my other rifles.. its the workhorse of all my firearms as its been a hunting rifle in my family for a while now. If I had the funds Id buy 5 more.. they are great rifles.
