Long time lurker, first time poster. Finally broke down and bought one.
I think I have a circa 1944 Mauser Werke, Borsigwalde. But what is the "propeller" looking proof mark on the receiver?
Proof mark?

Re: Proof mark?
Well I think that you have done your home work on the markings and have them correct. The prop, well I would call metal hits or something that was not put on by the Germans.
More pics of the full weapon would be great.

Re: Proof mark?
I just looked at the pic that had been posted and thought I would check my pictures of my deactivated MG42 because that prop stamp looked really familiar, lo and behold I have it on mine as well no idea what it is though. The crossed swords stamp you can see is the proof house stamp that confirms it has been deactivated.

The only thing that helps me maintain my slender grip on reality is the friendship I share with my collection of singing potatoes.
