WW1 German Mauser Gewehr 98 Wooden Rifle Stock Export Model for Brazil

The WW1 German Mauser Gewehr 98 Wooden Rifle Stock Export Model for Brazil is an original component designed for the Mauser Gewehr 98 rifle, specifically produced under export contracts for Brazilian military forces in the early 20th century. This wooden stock is constructed from hardwood, typically walnut or beech, and accommodates the standard Gewehr 98 action and barrel profile. Distinct from the German-issued models, the export variant often incorporates unique markings and features adapted to Brazilian service requirements, such as national crests or serial numbering systems. The Gewehr 98 was a widely adopted bolt-action rifle used throughout World War I and served as the basis for numerous export versions. The wooden stock exhibits the characteristic long profile and upper handguard associated with these rifles, designed to offer durability and reliability in field conditions. This artifact is relevant for collectors and researchers interested in early 20th-century military firearms and the historical collaboration between German arms manufacturers and international clients.
