Looking for a value of a Swedish Mauser please...

[Pearson4]

I am a mechanic and I did some work on a co-workers truck and for trade he gave me a Swedish Mauser. It is a 1935, full numbers matching including the bayonet. It is very clean, almost too clean. Has one small mark as pictured and a few tiny nicks. I would appreciate your input as I haven't found any good comparables online. Thanks

M1935 Brazilian Mauser in 7x57. $1000+

Wow that thing is clean...

There were Model 1908 and Model 1935 rifles imported some years back, brand new in the original sealed cases. This looks to be one of these.

I'm pretty sure this is a Brazilian Mauser part of the 1935 contract. A good gun, I see your region is the Okanogan so if you want to get it appraised i'd recommend Weber & Markin in Kelowna. I almost bought a 1908 Brazilian Mauser off them. I'd say for value you're looking at a roughly $700-$1000 rifle you've got.

The registration paper for this thing says Swedish Mauser but the crest on it translates to Brazilian. The registration also says 6.5 x 55. Is this 7 x 57?

 

[Garand]

Registration?

 

[kamlooky]

Not really a registration, more of a receipt but it has all the gun info on it

Yes, he also has a Turkish Mauser and a Browning high power for trade. Hoping to acquire them as well.

If the number on that bayonet matches the the rest of the numbers on that rifle and it has the original sling and maybe the factory test target $1300 to $1500.

No sling but I'll ask. Probably a no on the test target. That would be awesome though. I don't want to tell everyone what little amount of work I did on his truck and I even told him that this gun is worth too much for the work I did.

 

[Pearson4]

He's got the sling but no test target. Yet anyways. He has loads of stuff put away that he has to get to yet. Here's hoping. Thanks for the help everyone

There is a similar rifle at w ww.accuracyplus.biz.
I would suggest that 700-1000 is low.
You don't find too many as-new 80+ year old rifles. The rifle would have originally been accompanied by its sling and factory test target.

Yes, 7x57 Brazilian model 1935. Made by the original Mauser factory in Oberndorf. The last one I saw go at auction sold for $1200 iirc, and there's one at a local gunshop asking $1800. That one's been sitting for awhile.

Think about it guys, somebody bought this at Swedish Mauser prices

Not necessarily. Also back in the day I don't think there was that much of a difference between the two in price. The prices have only really started to spike up on South American Mausers in the last 5-6 years, I can remember in my limited time buying South American Mausers with the test target, sling, and bayonet all matching for 800-1000$ (and now wishing I had taken advantage of those prices).

Many old registry papers aren't very accurate, and I would argue many of the handgun registry papers are also poor quality registrations as well. I have for example Swiss service revolvers of the 1882 and 1929 variety however both the certificates simply say Swiss service and have the serial number, no attempt to distinguish between the two models.

Ah the registry, the only place you'll find "Tonsper" and "Tons Peru" rifles, being the Tons per square inch marking imagined as the manufacturer.

I have one with the original factory sight in target. Mine is in similar condition as the one pictured. I paid $1100.
