The rifle was originally manufactured as a Spanish military rifle in the Oviedo Arsenal, in 1926.
It is probably either the model 93 or 95
Model 93 Mauser has a flat bottom bolt face
Model 95 Mauser has a round bolt face
Both of these actions are fairly weak and don't have the same safety features that the more common Model 98 has. if you hand load I would avoid hotter loads.

Google Mauser and do some tracking. It could be spanish or south american. There are over one hundred million military mausers manufactured since 1898; and I have been trying for years to get one of each for my collection (yes, I will need a bigger building).

it's probably a '93 model in 7x57mm mauser.
it could have served in the spanish civil war 1936-39
