I bought this Mauser receiver today at the gun show for a very good price. I'll probably offer it for sale in the classifieds as a paperweight, and if it doesn't sell, eventually take it to a gun buyback to cash in on.
I thought it would be interesting to show off. As you can see, it still has "Mauser Espanol" and Loewe of Ludwig-Loewe (making it legally an antique) visible. The markings were mostly scrubbed when the Spanish rebuilt it (presumably into a M1916 carbine or something), along with cutting the thumb notchfor clips and the gas relief hole. Interestingly enough, someone just straight up cut the barrel off, leaving the threaded portion inside the receiver.
