Could be any one of several "Mauser" variations. The "GERMANY" mark is likely an "import" stamp but, in my experience, it doesn't mean that it was a German made gun. For example, my M38 Turk mausers are stamped with the generic "GERMAN 8MM". In some cases ID marks were worn off during arsenal refinishing. In other cases they were purposely removed or even purposely made with little more than the serial number stamping.Comment

Also, this should be in the Mauser section, Not here!
More people will see it that might be able to answer your questions.
With that ser nr it is not WW 1 or WW 2 German.
