Could be quite valuable. The germans made very few of them in 30-06

Ok, I'll bite. What is a "cheek head rest"?

I assume you are talking about the claw mount scope that is detachable? I'm pretty certain the barrel is not set up as a take down.

I'd put the over under on that rifle at about $2000. 7x57 brings a premium, mannlicher stock brings a premium, original mauser logo with hinged trap brings a premium, period correct optics brings a premium. Condition is excellent and it hasn't been monkeyed with. I take that back, more like $3000. They aren't making any more commercial Oberndorfs.

Were it me, I'd just keep it. it will never depreciate unless it's messed with or abused.

This!

If you really want to find out the most you can about your rifle, go the German Gun Collectors Forum and post pictures of ALL markings on the piece, both above and below the wood. Those boys have forgotten more about Mausers than most folks have ever known.

It would be safer for you to take it to a gunsmith to have it inspected for safety and to have a chamber cast made so that you aren't guessing.
