You may already know this but it's made by/at the famous Brno factory in the Czech republic for Brazil.
Brno long guns are top quality.
I would make sure the bore is not ruined from rusting but if the price is right and the bore is good it is not what would be considered a plentiful example and would be worth owning if you collect Mauser.

It supposed to be issued to the German army during the war ( thats what seller says) and it has been found in south of holland after the war

Czech manufactured Brazilian Model 1908/34. Caliber is either 7x57 Mauser or 30-06. I would think it would be marked .30 if it was in 30-06. 30-06 is too long to chamber in a rifle still in 7x57 caliber, so if it won't take the 30-06 it is likely in 7x57. As always, if any doubt about caliber, better to have a gunsmith examine it then to take a chance and attempt to fire the wrong ammunition.

Don't think it would have been in Germany after the war, it has the Brazilian crest so it must have gone to Brazil. If in good condition these are exceptional rifles. I have the 1908 version and I can hit what ever I aim at with it. Same it has so much rust on it. See if you can clean some of that off. Make sure you clean the bore really good before you make your final decision on to buy or not.

Value? depends on how deep the rust pitting would be. If you can take the stock and hand guard off see if there is any rust pitting under the wood.
