I'd like to get the "Ch" number on the barrel shoulder, plus "ANYTHING" marked with an S28 marking would be nice.. not likely but you never know. (SM/MBK parts sometimes have an S28 marking on them, front bands, but other parts are possible, anyone with a SM/MBK do look your rifle over closely for any such markings. Usually located in out of the way locations on the part, in not readily noticeable locations- underneath is common)
This is part of a working theory, that developed during a phone call with Bruce, and I have run this past Joe Steen and Ken Huddle and I am kind of waiting their thoughts- Ken seemed less convinced, but I await his detailed notes!
Jon Speed is not the only high-end researcher lurking, keeping us on our toes, we have a couple that I get correspondence from with thoughts to our postings. Which I sometimes post in the MRJ, - and will here as well.
Oh, rifle value, Bruce is the guy who would know best, but I would think $3k plus, replacement value (matching-original)

Thanks Bruce. I would appreciate any additional information about this rifle that can be determined from the markings in the pictures. I'm not an expert, so it won't take much to tell me more than I already know. All I know is what I've read in the Mauser Manifesto which has just enough information to make you want more. Also, I need to add this rifle to the rider on my home-owners policy. Any recommendations for an amount it should be insure for?
