Gunner,
The rear sight markings go from 1 (100m) to 20 (2000m) and as you know are the range settings. The other markings I do not know for sure. The model number and serial number, probably.
Nice rifle
Regards, Chubby 308

On the receiver, from right to left!
Tofang-e-boland namunah 1317 (number is read left to right)
= Rifle, long Model 1317
Karkhaneh eslihah-e-sazi Brno
= Brno Arms Factory
On barrel ring, left
6637 * (not sure what the * is)
On barrel ring, right
17 ??? + crossed swords, looks like an acceptance stamp/date
On butt also 6637 *
i.e. matching stock
below is
Piyadeh
= infantry
And, of course, as already pointed out, standard range numbering on the backsight leaf.
Hints for numbers:
1 is obvious
2 and 3 can be recognized, if you imagine them lying on their sides.
9 is obvious.
. is 0, so 1. is 10
And the rest you can work out!

A first-class rifle
Ullrich, your next-to-last picture (the butt) shows the number and "Piyadeh" stamped over the finish - look at the way the second "6" has cut in. This shows that the number was applied after the finish - that looks ike a very fine 100% original rifle.
I recommend that you check the muzzle crown under a watchmaker's eyeglass (a.k.a. loupe) - several of my old service rifles have been improved by just a small touch of recrowning to eliminate the burrs and scratches that have often developed in a long service life. A tiny trim, invisible to the naked eye, can sometimes bring an enormous improvement in accuracy and group size.
And then it will probably shoot as precisely as you can aim it!
Congratulations, and have fun!
Patrick

Many thanks Patrick!
The story of how i got it was funny. I only wanted to buy a piece of a very fine selfmade smoked Bacon and met a guy who is a sports shooter too. He said that he wants to sell his rifles for his age. And he offered this one but only if i take his three Mausers( a ww1 K98, a ww2 1944made K98k and the persian) Please don´t ask for the price! If i would tell this here, all of the guys here would thinking as a thief of me! There was a very good shooting Remington M1917 offered too but this single one was much more expensive than the bunch of three were.
