Hi Adam,
I don't have a clue as to what the markings mean. Possibly an Austrian army unit or a weapon rack number. I think at $475, you got a pretty good deal. If it is in nice condition. Has it been converted to 9mm Para? Is it stamped P.08 on the left side?

Yep, it is in 9mm Parabellum, stamped 08 on the side, eagle proof with N, indicating the conversion took place at the Mauser factory (i think)
