You need to specify what model specifically. Mausers were manufactured at many arsenals with varying degrees of quality.
Need to specify a model for this question to be answered. Mauser Waffenfabrik has been in the business since the 1870s, and has manufactured many different rifles, and continues to do so to this day.
Based on a single source* the Model 1912 7mm Mauser, very similar to the German Rifle Model 98 was a standard issue for the Mexican Army in 1935. Mexico adopted the 7mm Mauser Model 93, in 1895, a similar rifle to the Spanish 7mm Mauser Model 1993. During the period of 1910-1920 many difference rifles were obtained, including the Japanese Tpe 38 rifle. In 1936, a Mauser of Mexican design was adopted. The design was a 7mm Model 1936 designed from the Model 98 Mauser with an external "cocking" mechanism like a Springfield Model 1903A1. *Ezell, E. C.(1977).

It means your rifle was made in 1938 at the Mauser AG plant in Obendorf. 42 was the code for Mauser- many different firms built the K98.
Are you sure that you would want to do this?A Browning safari rifle is quite collectable and the value of this model is still going up quite fast.There are so many excess model 98 mauser bolts on the market that I would just go that route than convert a Browning bolt.The Browning Safari model is a Mauser model 98 design with the bolt safety converted to a side mounted style instead of the wing design of the military model 98 rifles.while this is a easy conversion,I for one would not do it.
Many Mauser rifles were converted into shotguns after WWI.

Depends on whether this is a pistol or a rifle - Mauser designed and produced many guns. Also, what condition it's in.
Two. Walther and Mauser

Most commonly, the German State Munitions factory- DWM. They were also made by Mauser, and by FN (Belgian State Munitions factory) and Walther. There were many others as well.
