Early Mauser DSM

When did Mauser stop numbering all the bolt parts? I assume this example is 1934 or '35 mfg?
This one has wear but no serious abuse, and happy to add it in.

Another nice rifle. My early Mauser is in the early 3000 serial range and is not as nice as yours. I am hoping the Simpson book will go over details like that.
 
This was definitely made in 1934. Mauser seems to have continued the practice of serial numbering parts on DSMs up through about the 24xxx range.
