Any ideas on how I can research this further? I tried sending the original poster a message, but it doesn't look like he's been around past 2013. This IS interesting and puts a twist on putting a value on the gun (my original trek that lead me to this forum! ....and the sequential serial numbers! How rare to run across that! )

Terry, I'm at a loss to guide you further. I've done a lot of reading on Mauser rifles and pistols, but this is the first time I've encountered this anomaly. As far as I know, it's undocumented anywhere, and because it's apparently a rare mixup at the factory, this may be the first time it's been noticed.

As far as value goes, as always, it's what the seller is willing to sell it for, and the buyer is willing to pay. I suspect Mauser pistol collectors would be your primary target - perhaps there is a forum similar to this one on the interweb - ???
