Help me ID this "Danzig" Mauser.

I was given this mauser a few years ago. It has been drilled for scope mounts and a hideous bipod mount welded onto the first barrel band. The horror, the horror.

Anyway, the nearly destroyed markings in front of the ejection port appear to be a big crown, the word Danzig and a date of which the last number is 8. On the left side the number 1986 appears with a lower case "a" under the number. A little further back it says Kar 98. On the opposite side a few proof marks appear. What is this thing?
