Early pre-War production, part of the transition between commercial and martial production. The top of the front receiver ring is marked with the Mauser Banner logo over 1933, and the left side is marked with the commercial Crown over "B, U, G and N" proofs along with the early serial number. The receiver side wall has the commercial markings of "MAUSER -WERKE A.G.OBERNDORF A.N." and the left rear of the barrel is marked with the matching serial number. Correct pre-War stock, with the finger grooves on the sides, flat metal buttplate, and the left rear buttstock marked "D.R.P. / 502444". It has all the correct early milled components, with matching numbers on most parts. With a tan leather sling and an early unmarked commercial style 98K bayonet with bright blade, smooth wooden handle and metal scabbard.

Excellent, with 85% plus original blue finish with some thinning on the receiver, areas of plum patina, and scattered spotting and handling marks. Stock is very good, with a few small gouges on the left side at the receiver, a crack in the handguard and minor dings and scratches overall. The accessories are very good, with mild handling marks and dings. The action is excellent.
