On the reciever it has a crown and then in a semi circle below the crown it has some letters on the left of the semi circle it says "FABRICA" on the right of the semi circle it says either "EARMAS" or "FARMAS" . Below that in a straight line it says "OVILDJ" or "OVILDO" and then below that it has 1925.
This gun has a mauser style bolt similar to my Swedes. Bubba has done a hatchet job on the forearm stock. The bolt numbers do not match the reciever.
I was just wondering what it is, such as caliber, country of origin, etc. I don't care about cost because that obviously went away a long time ago.
Thanks for your help!
 
The Oveido stamps are often incompletely marked. Major identifiers of 93 model Spanish Mausers are a straight bolt, 7mm Mauser, full length rifle, and a "ladder type sight. The sight is designed to be stood straight up like a ladder, hence the name. It also has 2 V notches for use when up or folded down.
