(We Krauts are proud of our workmanship!) Being an early war year, it is likely very well made, and the parts are all polished, unlike late war models. These 81 year old eyes don't see as well as they once did, but I could make out a "41" stamp on the receiver, that most likely is the year of manufacture. I'm no Mauser expert, but it looks as tho you have a WWII era rifle, the Krauts used a code to identify which factory made it, (I believe Mauser was "byf") You should also see a "Waffenampt" stamp, which is an eagle over a Swastika, that was the acceptance stamp for issue to the armed forces.
