M94/14 - yes. Steel nose ring and bayonet lug added after 1914.
J.V. (Paul Jacques R. Virgin) was the inspector at the Carl Gustaf Rifle Factory from 1905 to 1911 so this was a 96 converted to 96/14.
The serial number falls within the range of what is in the Dutchman's database http://dutchman.rebooty.com/94swede.html
Nice looking rifle, how is the bore? Stock disc is stamped 3 so has been around a bit.

Bolt mismatched and maybe reblued? IIRC the bolts were originally in the white, at least on the rifles.
I've had a lot of Mausers and the M38 short rifle is the only one I really miss, they're lovely shooters. Hopefully yours headspaces OK.
