Swiss Sunburst and a Mauser Banner

Mauser also used to assemble pistols from parts they had left over. These were used for local purposes, like gifts to staff, local farmers for self protection, etc. So its not a surprise to find things that are not up to contract specifications, although the guns were functionally sound and proofed.

What you see is a serial that has been struck too hard and deep. Difficult to make out what exactly went wrong due to the whiting.
