1934 Banner Chinese/Japanese contract

[1914mauser]

I have a 1934 Banner chamber receiver rifle that is all matching with an un-marked bolt. The serial number is 87246 followed by a diamond shape. It has typical commercial proof marks. The walnut stock has at least 4 waffenampts and a Mauser banner between the take down ring and the butt on the left side.
From post on this forum I believe it may be part of what is referred to as Chinese contract K98 s. I would very much appreciate it, if from the description provided, someone can help me confirm or explain why it is or is not a Chinese contract K98. It is in very good overall condition with no rust or pitting and a very nice blue finish. I am thinking about selling it and want to know what a fair asking price is, so any idea as to value would also be appreciated. Thank you for your consideration.

Regards,

The files were too large so I will downsize them and add them to your post.
The stock is from a Japanese contract, the barrelled action is a late series Banner K, and the rest has been renumbered or scrubbed (not period).

Thank you! that at least answers what it is in the since that it is not what it should be. When I first got it I thought it was some kind of RC. Who would of assembled the banner action with the Japanese furniture and numbered the stock to match? I assume by "the rest" you are referring to the un-numbered bolt? I am just trying to make some since of it. Someone went to a great deal of effort, even the screws match. I would expect a faker to at least make it look more like something that could be real. Perhaps they were attempting to make it appear to be a Japanese contract?
