I have a German Mauser 98. I was wondering what I have exactly. I know it has been turned into a sport rifle; new hardwood stock,blued, and a small aftermarket sight. The gun is very clean and all #s match through out gun except for stock. The markings on top say
"DEUTSCHE WAFFEN-UND, MUNITIONSFABRINKEN, BERLIN, 1906. Serial # 9535. All markings and# are very clear and easily readable ( if I knew German). On the side it has some stamps & GEM 98. I know it is an 8x57 and shoots very accurate. It was handed down to me and I was wondering what it is worth, and can I mount a scope that does not interfere with the safety and does not have to be drilled onto the barrel? Thanks for any help.
