Without a photo we are all puzzled.
However, in Ball: "Mauser Military Rifles of the World" or "Mauser Military Rifle markings" by Terence Lapin you will find most genuine Mauser crests and markings.
If your example is in neither of these books, then it is either super-rare or dubious!

OK, Maybe I finally got a pic transfer

It's Spanish Air Force, 1940s. Most likely made in Oviedo.

Apropos of nothing: Ever notice how many of the "what is it?" posts turn out to be Spanish Mausers? This has become my default guess even before reading the post or looking at images. Peace, out.
