Need ID on Mauser Banner marked 98 rifle

[Steve762]

Need an ID on this wreck of a 98 rifle. No bolt, stock cracked in three places and the barrel is rotted out. But it is interesting because it is Mauser Banner marked. It looks like a standard WWII German 98K without any of the normal German war time markings. It has the Mauser Banner on the receiver ring and left side of the stock. The right side of the stock has a unique symbol impressed deep into the wood. The barrel and receiver have a small symbol the resembles a round flower with many pedals. It does not look like a Chinese type 24 copy of a 98. Think the flower symbol is the key to the ID. My guess it is an early 1930's Mauser export model that is not marked "Standard Model". Any input will be appreciated.
