I believe that the 404, 280, 318, Mauser rifles were made in "A" type only? If this is true, this rifle has the wrong sights. The Typical Mauser rear sight was the 5 Leaf type A, a tangent on order or a three leaf, all on bands. The front sight on Type "A" have bands also.

That would be consistent with the listings in the 1939 Stoeger.

This Mauser Brochure (date?) mentions that the .318 and .404 are "made in type A only".
