Hello, there. I found this site by looking for information on a pre-ww1 Commercial Mauser so I'll ask here. It's got the markings on the receiver that dates it back to at least 1912. On one side of the barrel is Oerlinghausen, presumably the town where the gun was made and on the other best as I can make out, is Ludw. F(?)ustkuchen, presumably the maker. I can't find a serial number but the bolt and safety are numbered the same.
I'll send pictures if I ever learn how. It's 8x57, has a splinter forearm held on with a wedge, has the side panels on the stock to reinforce the chamber area. It's in good shape. Got claw mounts on the ring, and a modern aperture sight on the rear.
I realize this post is useless without pictures, but was hoping the names meant something.
