Hello Dwight,
I'm a Mauser collector so I guess I don't know what I have. I have no references on these so went and looked it over closely and it has been reworked. Perhaps you can tell me what I have. Serial number is 709. It is all matching except the grips are not numbered. The barrel is numbered 709 with what appears to be a Crown v above 709. No other marking on the barrel. A small 7 has been added in front of the 09 on the breech and also on the rear of the receiver. Vickers LTD toggle with Crown V's in 3 places. The receiver lug is marked 09. The sideplate is marked in the commercial style 09 with only a G or C on the inside. The brass plate is marked 2-A.D. above 24. On the right side of the frame between the trigger and takedown lever is a C/16. Rust marked, geladen on both sides. Has the large Crown over W mark on the left side of the receiver. Rear connecting pin is blank. Please tell me what I have? Thanks in advance -- Bill
