How about that? reciever markings are nearly identical, well the serial is different, but you know what i mean.

Hi, Thorn74,

What is the marking on yours? Is it "Kar. 98"?

I really don't know what that gun is. I tend to think it is something put together in recent years to sell as something rare and valuable. It is rare, but I don't think valuable.

Yes mine is marked Kar98. the designation A and AZ were added AFTER ww1. My kar is all numbers matching, plus i have the bayonette. The bayonette has a bullet ding in the scabbard, its pretty kool. mine is definatly genuine. it was a war trophy brought back by my great grandfather.

I only recently cleaned it out and fire her on the range. only 15 rounds so far, but she worked like a champ. the barrel looks brandnew on the inside.

as to the value, im not sure of the monetary value. to me its priceless family history.
