It's probably made in 1933-1934. Some M1930 in 88xxxx range were marked "德國製" (made in Germany) on magazine well, I would assume those Mauser were made in parallel with "日國製" (Made in Spain) marked Astra 900 in 27xxx range. They were so marked upon the request of an importer. And it's known Astra 27xxx were made in 1933-1934, so Mauser 87-88xxxx should be in the same period.
