Well, if you ever decide to sell that Turk 1903, you know who to call!
The M38 you show might not be a refurb, by the way. BRNO sold the Turks the old Spandau machinery they have been using to make 98/22 Mausers in the late 1930's and helped them set it up in the (then) new Kirikale arsenal outside of Ankara. The Kirikale-marked receivers are essentially new turk-made 98/22 receivers. These became the de-facto standard arm of the Turkish regular army and were issued to a LOT of recruits for training right up until the 1980's, which is why so many of them look worn-out and well-used. They are actually not a conversion of overhaul of anything.
Now one thing that is odd and leads people to think the Kirikale M38's are put-together is that to save money, the Turks took shot-out M1903 barrels in 7.65 off their 1903's in the early 1930's (the 1903's got new 8mm barrels) an used the Czech machinery to re-rifle them in 8x57JS to get a second life out of them on the M38 Mausers. That is why most M38 barrels have a M1903 serial number over the chamber under the handguard (!).
Turkish Mausers are a whole weird and wonderful world of study that are oft unappreciated by collectors because they were "cheap and junky" when CAI sold them for $20 a piece in the 90's. In fairness, most of the 1903's and 38's were rode really hard and put away wet. Sometimes the 1890/38 and 1893/38 conversions are in decent shape though as they were mostly just stored.
I'll take a better look at it, I have a couple of them kicking around, along with reworked 88s
