1914 mauser question

I just picked up a mauser 1914, paid 350 shipped, but I have been looking for one for a while and could not find any for lower.
I was wondering, I was told that these guns have serial numbers on every part. mine is all matching but stamped numbers on the frame slide and side plate, and barrel only,cant find any other numbers, the parts in side look heat treated with case hardening. trigger and extractor look darker royal blue. different from the frame and slide. It has not been reblued any where. the mag has a square front bottom plate, and the mauser mark is just visible very faint. on the right side of the mag. marked Germany on the frame right side. My serial number is also 338xxx, any info on when it was made and who the germany stamped ones were sent to? US? thanks
