1908 Brazilian Mauser

[HOOKED ON HISTORY]

Tried resist, but apparently I was meant to be the steward of this beautiful rifle for a time.
The bolt itself is unnumbered and the two digit makings on the safety & coking match one another but not the last two of the receiver but the floor plate and trigger guard do. Appears to have a painted type finish on the butt plate, trigger guard and barrel bands. Would this indicate a rework at some point? Bore looks fantastic. The rear sling swivel appears to be incorrect while the stock appears unmolested with sharp cartouches and some very minor dings. Any thoughts on the originality of the rifle given the condition?
