Anyways, there are no markings on it anywhere other than the serial number (barrel and receiver match, bolt and floorplate do not) and small spanish crosses on everything. I cleaned up the metal and threw some cold blue on it to help protect it some, replaced the broken follower spring, had a gun smith clean up the odd threaded receiver holes, got some new screws to replace the stripped ones, cleaned it up and put it back together. It was in pretty rough shape no blue on it at all and surface rust all over it. Other than that, i don't know anything about it, not even the model. He thought it to be german, but after doing a bit of research on it, i found out that it is actually a spanish mauser. He didn't know anything about it other than that it is a 7mm mauser. This has been sitting in my dad's safe for decades until he told me he had it, so i gladly took it off his hands. Mauser Rifle Serial Number Identification.
