K98 Codes

[kar98k]

the eagle over 77 on the buttstock indicates your stock is a Steyr Daimler Puch stock. it's an inspector stamp. the "H" means it was issued to Das Heer (the army).

the star is a Russian stamp so it's a Russian capture.

also, if the 42 is below the "ce" on the receiver, it's the year it was made.

Thanks for the replies. This is definitely a Russian Capture right down to the electro-pencil markings. The information helps a lot. Bore is in excellent condition and I'm going to purchase it. I'm looking forward to it arriving.
