Nice gun.

It's an 06/73 (the second type, introduced after 1972), proofed in 1973 for the non-US market. The US-versions lacked the eagle/N proof and had the Interarms logo + text, combined with an FBM (Mauser inhouse proof).

If it came with the box and all accessories, I would keep it as a collector's piece.
You can shoot it, but the deep blue finish will wear rapidly, especially on the frame rails and at the toggle joints.
