No. It's Mauser's logo. The provenance of the gun is unknown. But on the top of the gun, there is a line of engraved text in handsome writting Chinese "Waffenfabrik Mauser Respectfully Offered". Although not numbered, this variation was about s/n 40,000. Must be a gift gun to a senior Chinese official..
