Uruguay received DWM-made Model 1908 rifles and short rifles before 1914 and used them into the 1950s. To improve the country's independence from foreign suppliers, the Model 08/34 was produced in Itajuba. They were fielded against the Cangaço bandits. Later, Model 1935 rifles and short rifles were purchased in unknown quantities from Mauser. Some Mauser 1908 saw combat during the Contestado War. While DWM was the main manufacturer, Mauser produced 100,000 Model 1908 with DWM Oberndorf stamps. Large numbers of Model 1908 rifles and short rifles was purchased between 19. In this latter country, Brazilian War Material Industry produced upgraded versions until the rifle was replaced by the FN FAL.Ī Brazilian soldier (left) with a Mauser M1908 (or M1908/34), standing in front of an American sailor with a M1903 Springfield rifle.
