The link at the bottom of this page will take you to a good site on military surplus firearms, including assembly and disassembly of the Mauser rifle. Your bolt MAY need to be cocked.
IF the bolt is properly installed, are you trying to close the bolt on a cartridge? The Mauser is designed to feed from the magazine- if you single load a cartridge, the extractor may not fit over the rim.

Primarily in the number and location of the points where the bolt locks to the reciever. The Enfield cocks on opening, the Mauser on closing. The shape of the bolt face, and the extractors are different, since the Enfield uses a rimmed cartridge, the Mauser a rimless.
Many Mauser rifles were converted into shotguns after WWI.

Buttstock hole is for bolt disassembly
You have a contradiction here. Mauser is German, Not British. In 1916, the two were at war. What your rifle is worth will depend on what you have, the condition, and originality. Without a detailed description, can only guess somewhere between $50 and $500. Sorry-
There is no such thing as a Mauser 1819. Model numbers then were based on the year they were introduced, and the first bolt action rifle wasn't introduced until 1824. Additionally, Paul Mauser - who founded the company - wasn't even born until 1838.
