Hi Randy, I agree with Ron, I don't believe the frame was manufactured by Mauser. We may never determine the when, where or who of this pistol, it is likely to remain an enigma. As to insurance value, Navy "shooters" start at around $1,500.00, and I would figure your gun somewhat more, say $2,000.00 to $2,500.00. I hope this helps. Regards, Norm
