Begin your research by looking at the Mauser Model B prior to WWI. It is not quite the same as the Model B, but it is close. You may find a similar rifle while surfing pictures.

I don't recognize that maker mark at all. Seems weird not to have a proof which is visible.

Agreed, you will need to check the underside of the barrel and/or do a chamber cast to determine caliber.
