The pics sent me digging deeper and I found that the 30 did not have the serial numbers on the back like the older guns have, so they were not specially omitted or removed later.
I still think the gun is Chinese surplus, but it is not Chinese-made. I have seen a fair number of Chinese made Mauser copies (including one marked "Wauser"), and none have the correct Mauser marks like that one does. I will say again, it is Chinese surplus, heavily buffed and reblued, with replacement grips. What is it worth? IMHO, about $1000, tops. I know asking prices on similar guns are higher, but those are asking, not getting, prices.
