I have my dads Mauser 98 converted to 270 Winchester, but not sure about the markings on the receiver. Hope someone can tell me anything about them. It is a heavy rifle with a long 25 1/4" barrel.
You may wish to remove the scope entirely and use a broomstick to twist the rings out of the base.Nice thing about the scope mounting is that you take one of the screws (left or right) on the rear and swing the scope and it comes out of the front. There is a "window" where the scope locks into and you can see part of the top of the receiver and I see "1920" so guessing that is the manufacturing date? Also I can always re-zero the scope by adjusting the left and right screws. Just another reason to go shoot it.
