Hi all,

I have a question in regards to the 1904 Mauser-Vergueiro. What I was wondering is if anyone has a Portuguese military issued 1904 Carbine or has a photo or two of one? I was doing some more research into these beautiful rifles and I realized that the original contract included some carbines (makes sense as most countries were still using cavalry at the time) and I can't for the life of me find a picture of one or even a drawing of what the original configuration looks like (for example I don't know the length of barrel or if it had a bent bolt or straight bolt, did it have a bayonet lug etc.). I am also curious if anyone knows what happened to the original 1904 Carbines, where they sold off when they decided to adapt the 1904/39 standard or did they rebarrel them as well and adjust them to the 1904/39 standard (or some third completely different option)?

And since this is a thread about Mauser-Vergueiros I feel I will throw in a photo of my example of a 1904/39 (love to see others examples as well).
