Hi Tim, I know some collectors obsess over font variations but they are rarely significant. The Mauser factory was vast and employed many thousand workers. It's likely that each fitter had his own set of number punches on his workbench and differences in font are quite common, often on the same gun. You will find flat topped 3's mixed with round topped 3's, and footed 1's mixed with un-footed 1's, as on your gun and the one shown below. Regards, Norm
