Dallased: "John, Bill and others showing off their examples of Mauser craftsmanship. Doesn't get much better than this. Might be time for another Mauser crest thread."
The last two are not really Mausers. Unfortunately I have only a few photos of my non-Mauser crests.I struggled to find any of mine that you have not already posted Bill - and you may have presented these but I missed them - you posted so many!
This one is a Mauser north of the receiver

Another Mauser hybrid - Portuguese Mauser Vergueiro.
The two "non Mausers" I posted are indeed "part Mauser". The Portuguese 1903 has a Mauser magazine system. The m95m has a Mauser magazine system and m1924 barrel.
I would also classify your eddystone as a Mauser.
And this one

I know that the M08/34 .30 was made from old M1908 and M1908/34 rifles. Probably the later models were also.Eddystone? Type 38? Now we are grasping. However what about Brazilian M954 and M968?
Here is a M968 that I kick myself for not buying. I believe it is rebuilt from a previous Mauser. Others I am sure know better.

While an Argentine 1909 crest isn't all that unusual, I believe that this is the only known Argentine 1909 cavalry carbine that was fitted with a mount for the SOM Paris scope. Unfortunately, I've yet to locate an SOM Paris scope for this one. Various authors / historians have mentioned that some number of 1909 cavalry model Mausers were probably fitted with the SOM Paris scope, none had been located and pictured. Here one is.
