    It would be best if you could post pictures of the pistol. The information regarding the markings, doesn't correspond with the markings on any Mauser .32 that I'm familiar with.

    Since your from Pakistan it's possible that the pistol is a clone made by your countrymen in Dara. Many of the handguns made there have spurious markings.

    The only thing I can suggest regarding the markings, is perhaps the pistol is Hungarian, rather then German. Certain models of Hungarian AP 66 & PA 63 pistols have been known to have been produced with spurious German manufacturers markings. Both Mauser ( Oberaudorf ) NOTE THE ERROR IN THE SPELLING OF OBERNDORF and "Selbestlade-Pistol, Cal, 7.65 Walther-Patent" markings, have been observed on these pistols. I have included a picture of one of these spurious Hungarian pistols. Study it closely and compare it to the pistol in your possession.
