The Brazilian M1908/34 is a true Brazilian made rifle, chambered in 7mm, during this time, they also cut down some M1908 long rifles and stocks and performed a refurb. The side of the receiver reads Made in Itajuba, which is the Brazilian arms factory back then. I have no clue on the wood, but the rifle itself weighs alot more than the K98, It's got the normal slightly pitted bore common from South America, but nice rifling as well, it's based on the large ring Mauser like the M1908 Brazilian. It's also common to find a 08/34.30, the same rifle chambered in 30-06, as Brazil rebarreled/rechambered some rifles. The muzzle cap was included when I got the rifle. There are at least 4 slightly different variations of the 08/34, some differences are reused and scrubbed CZ and DWM made receivers, some even still maintain the long rifle rear sight.
