This type of bolo was documented in Schroeder's and Erickson's books. It has been there for long long time, definitely not recently modified. It's scarce, not showing up frequently. But we still see them for sale occasionally.

Postwar bolo's grip panels just fit like this. Not abnormal.

Individually and randomly reworked Mausers could be in any form. But pinned front sight is universal on "hashmark bolo". it's safe to assume it's modified by a single organization in 1920s. At least, I think so. But it's hard to guess who did it.

Back one or two months ago, another hashmark bolo instance was sold online. The metal of the gun is excellent, not rust, not pits, the edge is crisp, the grip wood is VG, the bore is excellent, but finish is all gone. The gun was in white. Looks like someone erased the blue chemically. Why did the previous owner erase the blue? Could it because the blue was so uneven on barrel, and the owner felt that's annoying so he erased all blue making it all white?? Don't know. Just one possibility.
