Value (trade value) Pre WWII German sniper

[JerryB08]

Your right about the Gewehr but it didn't look like that. To me that's obviously a commercial 98 gunsmiths work. Yes they would change anything to overhaul a standard K98. And the armor would stamp the part with the serial number if so equipped, Install a part marked e and then stamp a star. Or a combination of. ( It seems everyone did it differently as they did them on the unit level, division and corps level of the army so I have read.

K98 collecting has gotten retarded as They now sell the stamps made in Austria. Everything is faked. I bet 90 percent of the matching rifles out there were a parts bin project. I don't think I would spend the money again on an all matching unless the guy selling it was the guy that brought it back..lol AND could back it up
