Does anyone know how to go about researching what type Mauser one might have just by looking at the #s on it?
There's lots of good info out there. I just did the same thing. Poat up what numbers and markings it has and I bet we can figure it out.
Spanish mauser made in Oviedo Spain in 1932.
The crest you can't quite make out says fabrica de armas - Oviedo same as mine. Mine was built in 25. If you can take a picture of the bolt, I can be sure but im almost positive that's a model 1893.

Thanks caribou! I'll get a picture of the bolt here shortly.
Yep, looks like a model 1893.

I appreciate your help! Now I can try and get a ballpark to what it's worth.
