Even a blind pig finds an acorn every now and then...
A teaser, as it were, but something basically fell into my grubby little paws tonight.
I considered it one of my Mauser Holy Grails, so it's turning out to be a very good, albeit early, Christmas this year. Q: When is a K98 Mauser not a K98 Mauser? A: When it's a K. K. Wehrsportgewehr made by the Gustloff-Werke in Suhl. The SAd.NASDP stock cartouche is very obvious, as are two examples of a type of Waffenampt eagle on the barrel and receiver, albeit with an "N" versus the typical swastika underneath. Different views, starting with the receiver ring: Right side receiver markings, showing the toggle safety: Left side receiver markings, Waffenamts? Muzzle end, bayo lug accepts standard 98 Mauser bayonet... Happy dance of joy! |

I have a Mauser with some of the same markings on the barrel. Mine is a sport version my dad picked up during the occupation in the 40s. My question is what deos "Buschen" mean? It says caliber 22 long for "Buschen". I speak passable German (or did) butthat one leaves me clueless.

"The SAd.NASDP stock cartouche is very obvious, as are two examples of a type of Waffenampt eagle on the barrel and receiver, albeit with an "N" versus the typical swastika underneath."
The Eagle-N marks are the commercial proofs that were required starting in April 1940, replacing the earlier BUG/Crown commercial proof marks. Your rifle is most likely from 1940-41. The Gustloff series ended at around 274,000 late in WWII. |
