What the world (or me, anyway) needs is a compendium of all of the various stamps that are to be found on Mauser bolts, to assist in determining if the bolt in any given rifle is the correct one for that piece.
For instance, I've seen a "circled Z" stamp on one Polish K98bolt, but no such stamp on two other k98s. Supposedly correct for Polish rifles, I believe, but not all? Then I read somewhere that the "circle Z" stamp is Czech
. So which is correct?
But my specific problem right now is the stamps on two bolts I now have, one is in a Polish K98 (probably a Sovietrework) and the other is a DWM Chile
1895. Both are marked as shown in the attached pics; crossed hammers and a "daisy" mark. Can't both be correct! BTW, no other marks whatsoever.
Any ideas?Information
