    Mauser Butt Marking?

    On my 1939 K98icon Mauser there is a marking on the left side of the steel roundel
    that passes thru the butt stock.
    It is - N 3xxx k -. Can anyone tell me what this stands for? Maybe Kriegsmarine??? thanks.

    Yes, a naval stamp:

    Nordsee Station 3xxx.

    I do not know what the k signifies.

    Could you post a photo of the roundel + stamp? The style of lettering and figures can sometimes help to confirm/contradict the identification.
