Hi Tony...

It would help if you could post some pics of the rifle, although it sounds like a K98k German Mauser, perhaps manufactured by J.P. Sauer.

Here's a good article in our Q&A forums by Stevo, that talks about how to do that....

How do I upload or post images on MILSURPS.COM? (click here)

If you email me your pics to badger@milsurps.com , host and post them in this thread ...

Regards,
Badger

It is difficult to comment without a more torough description or a picture, but a 147 on the receiver would, as Badger indicates, indicate manufacture by J.P. Sauer Und Sohn between 1938 and 1941 in Germany.
