I maintain a database of 1910, 1914, 1934 and WTP examples and I require the complete serial number to know which examples I have recorded. It is nice when someone is seeking information to provide information, like a complete serial number, to benifit  those who do research.
It is estimated that only 2500 HSCs were marked with the Eagle/F. This makes it a rare marking variation and the condition of this example appears to be very good. It also has plastic grips which are less common than wood grips. If all the serial numbers match and everything is correct it is MHO that value is in the $1000-1500. That said one can only see so much in 2 pictures and 2 of the serial numbers are internal and cannot be seen without disassembly. So it could be worth less and for someone who is looking for the variation it could be worth more.
I would be interested to know what Warbird  thinks of value.

You make a good point but what I was after was to be sure n this gun was in the correct range for what he said it was.

I questioned those grips as they seem "too factory fresh".  Sounds like they are the real deal.  I could not see a single scratch or mar on them.   Looks like a very nice example.  It is a keeper in my books.

Warbird:
I agree with your valuation, Burgess.  $1,000 to $1,500 would be about right although I would still like him to share the serial number with us.

jcorl:
Murton,

Sharing the full serial number is the gentlemanly, correct thing to do.

1914mauser:
I agree that Murton should be willing to share the serial number. I just wanted to point out that the reason given when asking for it was not correct. I am funny that way. I have participated in many forums for several years now and have freely shared what I have learned about Mausers. Most of the time users have shown appreciation for what I have provided and a few have shown that "user" applies to them in more than one way. I have always felt forums are the venue for the free exchange of information about a shared interest. I also feel that it should be in a polite and respectful way.
 
So, Murton there are those here who would appreciate it if you provided the complete serial number if you don't mind?
 
Oh, Jim you should be aware that there are repro plastic grips comming out of eastern Europe that are made from the same molds as the originals were. It is hard to tell them apart.
