First Mauser

[Micheal Doyne]

Hi all,

I put in a rather speculative bid at auction and appear to have acquired this. It isn't a real WWII sniper and wasn't sold as such. I am here to beg two favours, first what is a good starting point for an English language book dealing with the K98k ideally covering both the rifle, manufacturers markings and sniper conversions. I suppose I am after the equivalent of Lee-Enfield story by Ian Skennerton.

Secondly, can anyone tell me more about what I have acquired?

Thanks, I can't get more pictures until I collect it which maybe a week or two.
