I have a Mauser that I am trying to track down details on. I have posted the best photos I can using the link below. I am trying to identify it as it is a family heirloom from my grandfather who was a Navy man from WWII.

Here are the descriptions for the pics. On the left side of the chamber is what looks like GEW 98 and just above it towards the barrel is a stamp with a crown with 637 next to it and what looks like a cursive "d" below it. 637 is also stamped on the barrel.
On the side just above the chamber are letters stamped into it with crowns. On top of the chamber is a large crown, SPANDAU, and 1905 stamped into it.
On the magazine cover is 64 and towards the screw that holds the trigger housing are the numbers 8464.
Any help would be great.
