Your pic is a thumbnail and awful small... do you have a larger one?
A full list of German codes and most WaA's can be referenced in the following Milsurps Knowledge Library entry:
"Das Heereswaffenamt" (Detailed Listing of German WaA Markings and Codes)

Sorry for the crappy picture - it is from the www - but here's a similar set of proof stamps on another Mauser - also not a great picture - any ideas?
Wouldn't they be English Commercial Proof Marks? I don't know a whole lot about them but it looks like GBP.
Further searching on the www revealed this - anyone know what period it dates from?
Why not translate the German and see if it tells you anything? I assume rauchlosem stands for smokeless from rauchen, the German to smoke.
