General Discussion / Seeking Info . . .

Greetings . . .
I'm hoping (& grateful) for any assistance w/ identifying the rifle depicted in the attached photo.
I'm not a collecter of firearms; but rather I was out trolling fleamarkets w/ my wife (& muling her purchases) when I purchased this rifle . . . I thought it was pretty cool (w/ it's alleged history) . . . anyway, the seller said it had 'always been in his family, since WW1'.
Anyway, any information at all regarding this rifle would be greatly appreciated . . . I think it's a Mauser (or rather the seller thought it was a Mauser; so, I thought I'd start here on your forum . . .).
p.s., I'm not interested in selling it; as I said, I think it's pretty cool . . . I just like digging into the history of some of the things we pick up at flea markets, antik sales & estate/castle sales.
My thanks to anyone who's willing/able to help me w/ this.
Regards,
