This is the rifle my great uncle was said to have brought back from WW-II,,,
I've owned this old gal since November of 1963,,,
That was my 12th Birthday present,,,
My Grandfather gave it to me.

I took two deer and a razorback with that rifle before I joined the USAF.

I, like every other kid back then, butchered the original stock,,,
I tried to "sporterize" it in wood shop class,,,
Fortunately I left the metal alone,,,
I even have the original sling.

The barrel and bolt have the matching number of 4470,,,
There is a Nazi eagle on the left of the barrel behind the sight,,,
And there is another eagle on the left side at the front of the receiver.

I've always been told that she is a run of the mill K-98,,,
I was hoping you good folk could verify that,,,
Or tell me what it really is if not a K-98.
