actually

the font looks similar, but it is different

Suhl maybe?

Dude claimed it was *very* early manufacture

Does it have a front sight protector or just an exposed post

Exposed post

Gew98 converted to k98k specs

@FUGUBARAKUN Yeah that was what the seller was saying

Stock is fucky though, you dont see them often with the gew98 stocks cut back

Usually they have new stocks

Got a pic of the front bands?

This is a very weird rifle

font looks similar to this Spandau mauser

Barrel doesnt seem to match which is also a red flag

This is fucking weird

Normal bands

Weird

Had a hole on the bayonet lug though, which you usually see on Argentine 1909 mausers

The way the stock is cut down on the left side is strange too

Like someone's rejected sniper project

Shit's fuckin weird

Oh lordy that's fucky

Still a shooter though

The first meme I think of is Chile army

But I am unsure if Prussians has Gewhers?

I am just shitposting though. There is no way

I don't think this being an "early" model covers everything wrong

Yeah

A shooter but fucking weird

Is that metal on the buttstock normal

very

judging by the roll mark scripts and proofs I'm looking at

it looks like it may be a 30's obendorf?

Probably just had ugly repairs done to it either in the war or in the us market after

it's got a late war K98 stock

I'd go with a post war
