I should be able to use the 7.63mm Mauser stripper clip, according to my books there is only .003" difference in the size of the rims. Frankly, even if I can't use a 7.63mm clip to charge the gun, I would still need at least one, to hold the bolt open while I loaded the magazine by hand.

I can't post a pic right now, the wife has the camera....somewhere

When I get it, I will. My gun appears to have a shorter barrel than the one madcratebuilder posted, and I think a shorter grip, but I can't really tell about that.

The markings visible are WAFFENFABRIK MAUSER OBERNDORF a. NECKAR on the frame, and over the chamber, a crown over "U" proofmark on the bolt "ears" and left side of the receiver below the chamber, and the serial # 425xxx, matching on the frame, barrel, fire control group (the assembly that holds the hammer), and with the last 3 digits matching on the hammer.

Any help or info will be appreciated. Thanks.
