I also picked 2 Gew98's out of Turkey 10 years back. Not Gew98M's, but true Gew98's. Fair/good bores and in decent shape. Piles of Turkishicon Crescent Moon stamps make them easy to identify. I don't know who else has Germanicon WWI equipment still in inventory. I suspect the Turkish Mausers will be the last of German WWI equipment.
