From the Vault: Chilean Model 1935 Mauser
In this "From the Vault" episode, Brownells' Roy Hill showcases a rare Chilean Model 1935 Mauser rifle. He acquired the rifle after finding several hundred rounds of 7mm Mauser ammunition and discovered it at the Brownells Retail Store. This variant of the Mauser 98 was manufactured in Germany by Mauser-Werke specifically for the Carabineros de Chile, with only about 10,000 units produced. Roy's rifle, serial number 405, is in excellent condition with well-preserved markings. He provides a detailed walkaround, highlighting the rifle's features, including its original sling and a period-appropriate, though non-original, bayonet.
