5 or 6 digit serial number on diagonal flat 50 - 1000 meter sight small ring hammer, early style hole through safety knob full serial number in two places on back 'step' frame; lanyard ring pivots fore & aft walnut grip panels with 30 to 36 lines no factory markings here (there may be military or police unit marks stamped on later). All mauser serial numbers are four digit. When they reach 9999, they bump up the letter one step, and start over again. This makes it very difficult to figure out manufacturing date from the serial number. Year of manufacture should be somewhere on the gun. Discussion Starter. #1. Sep 16, 2013 I have an opportunity to purchase an early 1914 Mauser 7.65 with one mag and a holster. The seller says it has a German Imperial Army acceptance stamp and a serial number in the 32000 range. The finish looks pretty good for a 100 year old. Easily look up new and used firearm values. Gun Values by Gun Digest brings you the authority of our annual gun pricing guide, The Standard Catalog of Firearms, in a simple online package.
