I've got a BSW, marked 1937 on the receiver.
Serial # 132x. Most parts match, but it is not in a walnut stock...but rather in a very blonde laminate. All pre or ealrly war metal on the gun....no stamped stuff.
Weirmar eagles, and Nazi waffenampts. not a russian capture, but a vet bringback. Everything is very clean, but a muddy bore that will not come bright no matter how much polish or fire lapping.

I know this is an old thread, but in case you're still collecting data, I figured I'd add the details from my RC 1937 Sauer.

S/147 31xxI W/W+N

The firing proofs on the left side of the receiver and barrel are both Weimar. On the right sight of the receiver are 1x Nazi WaA 359 and 2x Weimar WaA 214. The rear sight base is marked with 3x WaA 359, and the front sight base is marked with 1x WaA 214. (The rest of the rifle is typical RC mixmaster.)
