    Maybe it is a 1957 model - my lucky year! Thanks for the info - so it was a model 6 before it was a model 3?

    I lost a few old oak trees to Rita. I'm over 200 miles inland - can't imagine what it was like where she came ashore.

    The Turks converted many gew98 rifles to the m38 standard. They will likely be marked ASFA or Ankara - often dated 1937 in my observation but some even in the 40s.

    Interesting Mauser Gewehr 98

    Most of the gew98m tangent sight equipped rifles I have seen have been equipped with the s42k(1934) or s42g(1935) marked sights - leading we to believe most were converted in the mid 30's after the...
