pretty sure he was a local gunmaker in Harburg and this gun was made in Suhl or Zella-Mehlis.
Harburg is since 1937 a part of Hamburg when Great Hamburg was created, prior to that a city by its own.
A/E could mean "an der Elbe" - on the Elbe river.

you know the drill make pics of all parts and maybe its possible to say who made it.

The country gunshop of Carl Bargholz, Schwarzenbergstr. 31, Harburg, was mentioned in 1925. The shop existed until after WW2, run by Hans Bargholz (son?) in 1954. Harburg is now a part of greater Hamburg, but without any gunshop or a Bargholz.

thank you both for your kind help
here is link to the auction site where i bought it; the bore is described as poor but it had not been cleaned, it is actually very good. Probably worked to my benefit

" GERMAN BAVARIA | Model: 98 Mauser Commercial | Caliber: 8 X 57S/.318 BORE"

what it have to do with bavaria is unknown to me and to the auction house also.
Suhl/Zella-Mehlis build, maybe the proofmarks will telling more about it. very, very likely a .318 barrel, better be prepaired for this.

Very nice rifle 12tar!
A good barrel clean fixes most problems! Getting .318" projectiles may be an issue, you might have to resize projectiles mate!
