You are welcome! When you disassemble it you will find that the internal parts have serial numbers too. Congratulations! it sounds like you did well.
Welcome to the forum.

Yes indeed, I'm up to seven so far, all matching. I'm saving further disassembly for tomorrow (rainy day) so I soaked everything in Ballistol. There is some old dried up a tuff under the side plate. I also started a new thread for magazine disassembly.
GonzoGeezer:
Disassembly performed except for extracting the extractor, still need to figure out how that comes apart. Cleaned decades of old oil varnish and crud, everything went back together with no excess parts(!). Amazing design, simple but elegant. The machined parts, especially the ejector and hold-open are beautiful.
One last question...for now :) . The stamps at the rear sight: I assume the one in front is an Imperial acceptance, are the three behind the sight the proof marks?
BTW, I posted some more images here: [size=78%]https://picasaweb.google.com/103009137956482111219/Mauser1914?authkey=Gv1sRgCNbe75OayqTVSg[/size]

Yes, the one in front of the rear sight is the Imperial acceptance. The marking behinde is a double crown/U proof mark.
GonzoGeezer:
Beyond the usual Mauser production stampings, the proof marks, and the Heer acceptance, my gun has no other marks. Did the Heer ever put unit stamps on their guns like the police did after the war?
