    Where to find the Production Date for an Brasilian M 1908?

    Hi to all,

    is there anywhere a source where i can find the production date of an Brazilianicon Mauser M1908. If i am not blind i cant find it on the rifle. Only the SN# is there : 6793.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Regards

    Gunner

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Have you reviewed the Brazilian Model 1908 Mauser Rifle (Mfg DWM) (click here), in the South America - Milsurp Knowledge Library (click here)

    I'm not sure if there's more definitive information as to breaking down the date of manufacture by serial number.

    Regards,
    Badger

    I thought the contract was from 1908-1910.

    Gunner,

    Was your Mauser made by DWM (Berlin) or Mauser (Oberndorf)?

    Patrick,

    Like I told Gunner, I don't have a book or a list for serial numbers. I just happened to have a Mauser with a serial # close to his. ( the date is on the test target).

    I would guess that yours was made in 1908 (calculated guess).

    ok
