All of the original Mauser Wehrmann's Gewehr I have seen were built on single-shot, solid bottom receivers. There were gunsmiths that altered 98 actions for the 8,15x46 and these are the guns you find with the wooden block in the magazine area. A key is the serial number since all civilian production Mausers are in a certain range and are easily documented. The best reference I know of for the Wehrmann's Gewehr is Jon Speed's "Original Oberndorf Mauser Sporting Rifles".

Here is a listing for one I am suspicious of, the seller claims it is original but it has functioning magazine and the rear sight is not original to the rifle. A few other parts are not numbered to the receiver.
