Well, I for one am still not convinced.

The serial number on the barrel is simply a mess.

I challenge the Mauser collectors to show me a similar "5" from one of their guns?

Common prove me wrong

Mauser fonts are not consistent, so I might be wrong!

Oh and while your at it tell me why the two "6's" look so different is size, and its not because of the curvature of the barrel. Very nice spacing by the way?

The "5" isn't as messed up as the earlier photo might suggest.

Fortunately I just bought a new camera (Sony Nex-5).

Here are some better images.

I actually see a messed with "3" , there should be no doubt on a perfect gun.

Pretty gun though, just needs to be looked at very carefully buy any buyer ( always good advice)

The "messed up 3" must have also been artifact from a lousy photo.

The "1" is clearly a "1"
