Price help: Mauser 98 hinged Trigger Guard:
I've found a commercial hinged guard with a magazine block for my .250 Savage, so I'm thinking of selling this one. Nicks on the floor plate. I don't think she's commercial. Brazilian maybe.

more than likely 1909 Argentine. Somebody has replaced (or rebuilt) the floorplate release.

Probably around $100

1909 Argentine shouldn't have locking screws.

Had to drag out my Ludwig Olson Mauser book. Page 189 & 190 indicate it could be a Paraguayan trigger guard.. Argentine 1909 guards did not have locking screws. There is a mark on the floor plate that looks like the lower case Greek Phi. Commercial Mausers had both locking and non locking versions on their trigger guards.

I have several and think they are Portuguese
They are more user friendly than the Argentines.
The ones I saw here a week ago, sold for $100.00.

Kenny,
Could be. Page 206 shows both the Portuguese model 904/M39, and the Brazilian Vergueiro to have this type of guard. They also shows the release protrusion clearly.

Distance mounting holes center to center?

7 7/8 center to center.
