Bertrand-Mauser

The '''Bertrand-Mauser Mod. 1908''' was the Brunanter service rifle from 1908 to 1949, replacing the earlier Bertrand-Vetterli. The Mod. 1908 was the Brunanter adaptation of the Mauser Model 1895. This would be the standard rifle in use by the Royal Guard from 1913 to 1949

Mod. 1908
The original 1908 was produced for Brunant in Germany from 1908 to 1910, with the understanding Brunant would produce further versions/copies.

Mod. 1908/13
It was only in 1913 that Brunanter copies of the 1908 were being produced, but frequent issues in the production delayed shipment and manufacturing that by 1915, when Brunant joined the war, many soldiers were being issued with updated Mod. 1880/15 rifles. This Mauser variant only became the main weapon of the soldiers after 1916.

Mod. 1908/21
The Mod. 1908/21 saw widespread used by the military before and during the German Invasion of Brunant.

Mod. 1908/30
In 1930 a shorter carbine-style variant was produced, intended for specialized, alpine and naval use.
