2295+tax then shipping + tax on shipping = 2649 something dollars. For Mauser that should not be fired? Its way too much.

As soon as this fantastic price was listed by dealers last year, I put on EE my Brazilian 1935 unfired, mint with all accessories for 1800$. It was impossible to sell on EE for that price of 1800$. I wonder where are able dealers to find suckers for that price?

I would agree, but Brazilian's are the jewels of S.A. rifles. I tend to follow S.A. rifles as they are much more affordable... but Brazilians have always pulled big coin. A similar unit from say Peru, would be 700 $.... Brazilian would be 1000 easy.
Tough to keep track. Guns are showing inflated prices in the last year... hard to follow, LoL. Work makes it so I can afford them, but hard to follow prices when you are working.

The only reason for that price difference is the cartridges they are chambered for.

Brazilian - 7x57

Peruvian - 7.65x53 (Argentine)

Both are excellent cartridges, but the 7x57 has had much more nostalgic media coverage.

Also, the Brazilian rifles are built in Germany and the Peruvians are built in Austria.

Quality is identical throughout.

The last Peruvian I sold, $1000, excellent but with non matching bolt, which isn't unusual as the Peruvians had the annoying practise having its troops removing the bolts from their rifles when they were stacked together in the field. Then grabbing whichever rifle came to hand first later.

A few came up for sale appx 25 years ago that were new in grease, all matching with accessories. They had to be purchased out of Sarco in the US and exported to Canada. They were every bit as nice as the Brazilian rifles and were selling at similar prices.
 
In my opinion:

1. Peruvian 1909 (Mauser Original)
2. Chilean 1912 (Steyr)
3. Argentine 1909 (DWM)
4. Bazilian 1908 (DWM)
5. Brazilian 1935 (Mauser)


The Brazilian 1935 is nice, but the pre 1914 rifles are nicer.

The various FN and CZ rifles aren't even close to as nice.
 
I still have the Brazilian, Peruvian, Chilean, and Argentine rifles in my collection.
The 1935 is really nice because of the deep bluing.

1. Peruvian 1909
2. Chilean 1912
3. Argentine 1909
4. Brazilian 1908
5. Brazilian 1935
6. Mauser 1901
