Numbers match. Has WAffenfabrik Mauser (WM) gutta percha or whatever it’s made of buttplate. Not the Mauser Banner buttplate. Has a 5 digit SN. I’m speculating either a late pre-wwar one maybe???? I was told 1914 has B crown and U crown proofs. No G proof I can find. Nice bore and sound wood (looks like Italian walnut?). Left side of Receiver in front of thumb cut out marked waffenfabrik Oberndorf A/N.

No Mauser Banner on top of receiver ring.

And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
