Looks like it's a 1936 then! After looking at the FAQs here and comparing pictures I don't see a hump on this frame. FAQ #27. "What is a Mauser Bump?" describes the hump but doesn't have a great picture. However by chance FAQ #6 "What are machine markings?" seems to have a fine looking hump (and my frame does not).
Frank, is the serial number information that indicates 4547i is from 1936, 1938, 1940 or 1942 available here? I'd love to see that if you have a link to it or can point me to it. (And it's nice that you could eliminate the possibility of 4547i in 1937 and 1939 and 1941.)
Thanks again for the info guys! I will try to get some good pictures posted as this is a fine shooter!
