This one looks like a M38 Turk Mauser, may be reconfigured GEW 98, but now a Model 38.

Bummer. I now see the absence of a pistol grip. Next guess is a Model 95 Chinese rifle. The front bands look similar.

Hmmm. A Chilean 1893/96 Mauser in 7x57 cal.

Hmmm, ok I'll give it a shot.
Mexican Model 1910 rifle. Probably mfg. Fabrica Nacional de Armas, dated 1920's - 30's.

Good job, Blind Hog! I'm on the bench today, but I gave her a look-see. At first it looked like a Turk, but the stock had a straight grip and no takedown disk, so I was puzzled. I would have had to look that one up as I did not recognize it.
Just goes to show that we have some pretty knowledgeable folks in this group. ;)

Neat rifles, before I committed my guess to print pulled one from the safe to be sure.
Vic, you mentioned about crests in another thread, so here's the crest from a 1910 in my collection.

Cool. It's amazing how much craftmanship used to go into military rifles. Nowadays they're just stamped out, kinda like throw-a-ways. :(
