Tom, reference the serial number placement on the 1930 Broom, according to "System Mauser" by Breathed, Jr. & Schroeder, Jr., the Transitional Model 1930 and the Early Model 1930 were both serial numbered on the rear of the frame above the grip. Later Model 1930's were only numbered on the barrel extension.

I've owned several 1930 Brooms and they all were serial numbered on the frame. I don't recall ever seing one that wasn't but obviously they exist. I should have checked my reference books before I spoke. <img src="graemlins/c.gif" border="0" alt="[ouch]" />
