Threw this up on the K98K forum and thought I'd try here as well....

I recently previewed some guns going off soon at a local auction. Although I'm not overly familiar with Gew 98 type rifles and their nuances, one seemed interesting. It's a mixmaster wearing a sporterized stock. The barrel and receiver S/N match in number with the bolt group being different but matching itself. The remaining small parts are mixed. It bears two SS style skulls on the side of the barrel and a few markings on the side of the receiver, pictures below. There are no other markings on the receiver or barrel above the wood line. The rifle is well used with a dark bore.







Are these SS markings legit and what type of value would a rifle of this character carry? I have no horse in the race, just find it to be a very curious rifle.

Thanks all
