The book "Mauser Archive" recorded that the factory shipped some guns with "bead front sight". Could the sight (on GMA gun) be it? It's hard to tell.

Now, the interesting part.

s/n 453506 (mine, not the GMA one).... "Where did this gun come from?"...... no way to tell from the gun itself, it carries no special marking. But the matching stock has a tiny stamp on it, the position and the size of the stamp is same as C/J or C/M stamp on German wartime military stocks, but I cannot tell what it is.... it's not crown. And, the stock is a true Bolo stock and the grip opening fits Bolo perfectly and is too small to fit a full grip gun.

I guess it's a German stamp (because of its unique position), not a ding or something. Camera battery charging, will post a close-up pix of this puzzled stamp.
