Hi Gene,
Many thanks for the info.
Don't warry for the pics, if you are able to have them ok otherwise your description in good enought.

Your Mauser Parabellum is a 29/70 model. The fact that there is a different pattern used for the serial number on the frame and on the receiver is because in the beginning Mauser decided to use a double dot pattern and therefore several frames have been stamped in this way.
Then Mauser decided to use a one dot pattern and so the two dots frames were used in combination with the "one dot receiver" until the frame stock finished.
In other words, your frame belongs to the first stock made by Mauser.

Have fun.
Mauro
