Perhaps one of the Mauser historians can tell us when the "Mauser Hump" was first implemented. Unfortunately, I don't recall which year it was. It may have been in 1937 when they made the transition from strawed small parts to blued. I don't doubt that the lower half is Mauser production, but the lack of the hump on this example is a mystery to my old mind.

Frank Manders! Do you have your ears on?
