Need ID on Mauser Banner marked 98 rifle

Need an ID on this wreck of a 98 rifle. No bolt, stock cracked in three places and the barrel is rotted out. But it is interesting because it is Mauser Banner marked. It looks like a standard WWII German 98K without any of the normal German war time markings. It has the Mauser Banner on the receiver ring and left side of the stock. The right side of the stock has a unique symbol impressed deep into the wood. The barrel and receiver have a small symbol the resembles a round flower with many pedals. It does not look like a Chinese type 24 copy of a 98. Think the flower symbol is the key to the ID. My guess it is an early 1930's Mauser export model that is not marked "Standard Model". Any input will be appreciated.

I think Chinese. Does the bolt in your other thread fit?

Looking in Balls Mauser Rifles Of The World page 98 it shows a Chinese Contract K98k that matches very closely your pics. The "Sunburst" stamp on your rifle is a Chinese acceptance stamp. Hope this helps.

Many Thanks for all the info.

Yes, the "sunburst" is a Kuomintang (Nationalist Chinese) marking. And the butt mark looks like a variation of the "double diamond" mark of the Kung-Hsien arsenal

Both marks are shown in Lapin "Mauser Military Rifle markings" on P. 114.

Question: Would this rifle be of German or Chinese manufacture? Could this be one of the Chinese riles that had Mauser Banner markings? Stock and handgard are walnut. Did the Chinese use Walnut?

Chinese manufacture.

Many thanks to all for the info provided.
