That gun has been heavily buffed and reblued, and the grips are not original. I suspect it is one of many Mausers imported from China several years ago. Most were in poor condition and with worn and cracked grips, so the importers replaced the grips and had the guns reblued.
The stepped barrel was used on the Model 1930, but AFAIK, the Model 30 had the three line frame legend. There are several puzzling things about that gun; I think we need more and better pictures, as well as the serial number.
