Gew 98 Sniper

[TONY65]

Hi folks, I am a new member and this is my first post.


I have found a Gew 98 sniper, but I am not 100% certain of the scope mount.

I know there were a load of different mounting systems, but just wanted to ask your views on this or perhaps where I can get more info. I have the Senich and Ball books and can't see anything like the one on this rifle.
The rifle itself is a beauty with all matching numbers including the scope, although this may have been renumbered.
The mount has '23' stamped on the inner surfaces of both the fixed and removable sections.
Any help would be much appreciated.
