THis is marked Ovideo 1913 it has some other writing in a semi circle around a crown
the bolt does not match the receiver
it is missing it's rear sight. Is it worth trying to make a shooter out of?

Model 1893 Spanish mauser. Depending on the bore it should make a fine shooter. Don't believe a rear sight is any big deal to locate.

It's a gun i got locally for a set piece/prop so after the shoot/filming i kept it it was $50 which i didn't think was bad.

And good luck finding surplus for it... I have a couple and I have to buy factory new ammo... But a fun gun to shoot none the less :)

looks like you figured out how to post pics too. :up:
I'd like a nice 7mm Mauser myself.
