Mauser Vergueiro m1904 6.5mm + bayonet

Will ship if necessary. If GTA local sale, you will have to pick up from the west side of Mississauga. Open to trades or money+trade. See below for possible options. If you drive far for a trade I can put in for gas.

This is the original 6.5×58mm Mauser-Vergueiro, with the Portuguese colonial DMGLM stamps on the stock. Not converted to 8mm. Manufactured by Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken Berlin. The receiver and barrel have matching serials, nearly everything else is non-matching. Vergueiro bayonet is non-matching.

It is in quite good condition for something that served in Africa for many decades. There is a bit of pitting on the receiver at the wood line, a patch of shallow pitting on the underside of the barrel exterior. See photos. The bore may have a bit of pitting near the chamber but I can't see too well. I received it heavily greased for long storage, had to clean it. The barrel band is slightly loose, needs the spring part cleaned up but I don't want to mess with it.

I can't speak to its firing condition because the ammunition is very rare and difficult to fabricate. It should be considered a collector's piece rather than a shooter.

Various things I would be interested in:

• 12 gauge Rem870, Mossberg500/590, JC Higgins/HighStandard, Winchester1200/1300, Ithaca37 or Maverick88 (riot/cruiser length barrel)
• 12 gauge Rem870, Winchester 12 or Ithaca37 (field length barrel)
• Winchester 1897, or reproductions
• Benelli Nova/Supernova tactical
• Lower/mid quality .22lr/.22WMR, bolt-action, North America manufacture
• .22lr semiauto rifles
• Non-takedown lever guns, in .22/pistol cartridges/.30-30 or 410 bore Henry/Winchester/Rossi/Marlin/Uberti
• new clones of classic riot/trench 12 gauge pump-actions. 
• coach gun, 12/20/410 gauge
• maybe a modern Benelli M3/M4 clone, EGE or Canuck
• Thompson Center or Traditions hawken/plains rifle, percussion
• Swedish m38, 6.5 Swede ammunition, SKS or maybe some mosins
• SMLE No.4
• Possibly many other things I haven't thought of.

Trade value could be less than listing amount, depending on how the items appeal to me.
