Receiver (not frame) is numbered 3741, sear bears #41... rest of parts marked with #65

...re-barreled:
The barrel length is not consistent with any 1937 Mauser production

...re-blued:
Polishing is evident on the proof marks

...shooter:
Maybe we don't know that (unless you test fire it)

...with incorrect grips:
They are not original pattern

...perhaps in the $700 range:
That's an approximate value
