What "Mauser Werke Obernforf" did these restaurations? It's my impression that the Mauser plant was destroyed/dismantled in the late 40s?
Former Mauser employees later founded Heckler & Koch. I haven't heard of a new Mauser Werke before? Could someone please explain the basics for me? 
Is it the hunting rifle maker Mauser Jagdwaffen?

Hi:
Yes!
"Mauser" manufactured various things in the 50s and 60s other than firearms (automotive parts for one).
Mauser Jagdwaffen is the trade name I have seen them use on some of their later rifles of "more modern design" than their world famous Model 98.
I'm sure that someone here has their modern corporate organization chart, but Mauser wasn't permanently "killed" when the French Army destroyed their rater antiquated manufacturing facilities in 1946.
