    Pictures would keep us from making a mistake. If you can't post pictures go to the auction side and search on Mauser 98 the n other models of Mauser until you see a action like yours You can look at Rifles or Rifle parts.

    mastershooter357,

    Here is the information you need:

    svw 45

    "The svw rifles produced by Mauser Orbendorf (svw code) are found in both phosphate and blued finish, along with mixed finish guns, i.e. bolt and small parts blued, the balance of the rifle phosphated. Mauser started svw production in about February 1945 and used a 5 digit serial numbering system. Some svw rifles will be found with WW1 mauser parts on them, and some parts will be subcontracted. It was a long held misconception that svw45 was French production (along with svwMB), but it is obviously not true. It is possible to find svw45 rifles produced by the French, as not all rifles serial numbered were finished before the French took over the plant in April, and some that were finished or not accepted were captured by the French and reworked. Many of these rifles will bear the French star proof- more on that in the svwMB section."

    Here is the rest of the article:
