Mauser Model 1902 - Wikipedia
I had one of these. I was chambered in 7x57 Mauser. Just make sure that it isn't a Belgian/Argentine Mauser, which is 7.65x53 (had one of those, as well).
Mexican Mauser Model 1910
The Mauser Model 1902 was a Mauser bolt-action rifle, designed for Mexico. It was similar to the Mauser Model 1895 but used the Gewehr 98 action.Design
The Model 1902 was an upgraded Model 1895, the standard rifle of the Mexican Army at the beginning of the 20th century.[3] The improvements were derived from the German Gewehr 98, such as the use of three locking lugs and a gas protection on the bolt. It fired the 7×57mm Mauser and accepted the Model 1895 bayonet. Two contract were signed in 1902 and 1906 by the Mexican general Bernardo Reyes.[4] They were produced by Loewe Berlin, Steyr and DWM. 38,000 DWM-made rifles were delivered, and 40,000 more made by Steyr.[5]
Mexican Mauser Model 1910
The Mexican Mauser Model 1910 or Mauser Mexicano Modelo 1910 was a locally-made Model 1902. To reduce the country dependency on foreign suppliers,[4] the Fabrica Nacional de Cartuchos[6] and the Fabrica Nacional de Armas were created with the help of foreign technicians.[4] A Model 1910 carbine, similar to the Model 1895 carbine, was also produced.[6] 8,000 bayonets originally produced for the Mondragón rifle were adapted for the Mauser 1910.[7] The Model 1902 and 1910 saw combat use during the Mexican Revolution.[8][9] Production of the Model 1910 was slowed down because of the fall of the Díaz government in 1911 and it was supplemented by the Steyr Model 1912 Mauser.[4] Nevertheless, 40,000 were produced until 1934.[6] The Model 1910 also saw service in the Spanish Civil War where 20,000 were sent to aid the Spanish Republicans.[10]

I believe the Swedish Mausers are 96, not 98 Mausers. I don't think Sweden made any war time rifles. All seem to be high quality and mine was my most accurate military rifle until I got a Swiss model 1911.

Then it's rather a model 1910 than a 1902. The 1910's were elaborado do Mexico, whereas the 1902's were made by DWM, Ludwig Loewe (predecessor of DWM) and OEWG Steyr.
Pretty sure it's in 7x57 as long as bubba didn't change that.
The m/94, m/96 and m/38 Swedes were all made in 6.5x55 unless someone changed that later.
I have a Carl Gustafs m/94 carbine, which has been adapted from 6.5x55 to 7x57.
Swedish Mauser's are 94/96's. Small ring. Cock-on-closing, vs. '98 "large ring", 3 lugs, cocks-on-opening. And stronger, due to 3rd locking lug.
