When those Mausers left Oberndorf, they had all matching serial #s.

I don't know enough about 1930 new models; Is it possible the serial numbers are stamped in a concealed place inside somewhere?
This is what "Ask Mr. Science says:" Serial numbers -
- full number on barrel
early guns - left side of barrel (same place as Postwar Bolos)
late guns - top of barrel extension, behind rear sight
- partial number on top of lock frame, magazine floorplate
All Mauser 96s I have ever had were more or less WWI or 1920s vintage, and all had the serials outside clearly marked on the back of the frame and the hammer housing.
