I really don't get into the collecting end of Mausers, but now I am curious. Somebody said, "It should have a Mod. 98 stamped on the left side of the receiver". I can remember using a lot of K98's that were not stamped like that. I always thought they were re-worked Mausers from WWI. (Shortened, bent bolt, ect.) They were German manufacture.
