I bought this rifle from a friend of mine on my 18th birthday and I've been trying to find some more information on it but most of what I found were on the 98k, not the Gewehr 98. So hoping you all can help me out.

Rifle is a 1917 Gewehr 98, made in Oberndorf, Germanyicon. "Waffenfabrik Mauser A.-G. Oberndorf A/N 1917" is stamped on the top of the receiver. All serials I could find (barrel, reciever, and floorplate) all match (8548). There's a single S stamped just behind the rear sight on the barrel/reciever. Gew 98 is stamped on the reciever near the bolt in a gothic font.

If anyone needs any more info on it, let me know. And thanks in advance for any help
