Is the "L" cursive? Is there a six-sided figure with a small "c" stamped on the barrel, receiver, and bolt? If so then it sounds like you have a model 1935 short rifle. It is a typical model 98 action but is likely chambered in 7.65x53. I get this info out of the book Mauser Military Rifles of the World.
