This is a Spanish Mauser Model 1943 Short Rifle chambered in 8mm Mauser (8x57 IS), presented in good overall condition and retaining its original military configuration.
The rifle features a matching visible serial number set, including bolt and receiver, which adds to its overall collector appeal. The receiver ring is marked with the Spanish crest, still visible and well-defined.
Metal surfaces retain a consistent blued finish with honest service wear and handling marks throughout, consistent with a military-issued rifle. There are no signs of modern refinishing, and the rifle presents with a proper surplus character.
The rifle is equipped with a blade front sight with protective ears and ramp, along with an adjustable U-notch rear sight. It retains the correct straight bolt handle configuration.
The stock is a two-piece full-length military stock with finger groove forearm and integrated pistol grip. The wood shows typical service wear, handling marks, and small dings throughout, but remains structurally solid with no major cracks observed. The steel buttplate is intact.
Additional features include the original bayonet lug assembly. The cleaning rod is not present.
The bore appears to be in good condition, showing visible rifling with light to moderate wear consistent with military service.
Overall, this is a solid and honest example of a Spanish M43 Mauser, suitable for collectors, historical enthusiasts, or range use.
