So I just had a friend send me this.
“ It looks like an Imperial German Gewehr 98 from the markings, but the stock has been sporterized/bubbaized (not original/cut off).
The 3 markings in a row in the second photo I believe are Inspector Acceptance marks….each inspector at the factory had his own stylized acceptance mark.
The EAGLE shown in photo 3 on the receiver and the barrel makes it from the Imperial era of Germany…not Nazi.
3275 (letter) is the serial number. Germans used XXXX up to 9999, then added an A for the next 10.000. A B for the third 10.000 etc. Hard to tell if that is a gothic a or p.
If it has not been re-chambered, it would shoot 8mm Mauser.”
Now the question is why the heck is there a K98 stock on it?
I’m
Assuming a GEW98 military stock would be the correct way to go...?
Thank you
