KAR 98K Rifle / Help in ID-ing Mauser 98k
« on: September 30, 2015, 01:14:07 PM »
Hey first time post,


I live in France and am looking at buying a 98k from a local gun shop to hunt with.  its a 1936 98k, all numbers match, event the cleaning rod and all the swastika and eagles are intact.  There is no x or lined our numbers.  It has a crest on the receiver and is marked with German factory marking (location).  The issue is that above the German serial numbers there is 2 symbols and a number engraved in a non symmetrical fashion (its not written in a straight line).  I have no pics, but I will try to go back and get some.  The first symbol looks like 2 ovals that touch and look like this  > then comes a number and then there is a wavy line with hash tags through is so it looks like a Fern.  the original finish is worn of in parts and nothing has been re-done.  Any one have any ideas with out seeing pics. 


It was in a crate with some arabic mausers, a few Russian captures and some other 1950s fresh out of the cosmoline.  Bore is good and they are asking 550 Euros.  Any advice would be helpful.


Matt
