Chilean Mauser ?

[Phaetos]

Thanks Badger. In all the pics I'm seeing, the one that I am looking at does not have the fore-end upper wood guard over the barrel just after the crest stamping. Not that I remember anyway. And it does NOT have that crest stamping there at all. It's just a bunch of seemingly random jumbled numbers and letters or symbols. On the bolt when you pull it back, it has the double-hammer symbol on the left side. It seems odd that it doesn't have the crest, buy every pic I've seen on a Chilean has that rest on it. Maybe this one is a slightly rarer variety?

Got it today. In all the looking at it, I somehow forgot that some dope had put scope mounts on it. No wonder I didn't see the crest on the receiver !! I'm gonna remove the mounts. Any hints on how to fill the holes?
