The thought just occurred to me, but when you indicate the #48 on the receiver and breechblock are you indicating the number of the proof in the technical section, or the actual number 48?

If it is the proof shown as number 48 in the Technical Info, I am betting is is just a commercial Mauser. Does the barrel have noticeably more shine than the receiver, as these pistols had a rust blued frame and a salt blued barrel with strawed small parts.
