    mauser bolt markings

    What the world (or me, anyway) needs is a compendium of all of the various stamps that are to be found on Mauser bolts, to assist in determining if the bolt in any given rifle is the correct one for that piece.
    For instance, I've seen a "circled Z" stamp on one Polish K98icon bolt, but no such stamp on two other k98s. Supposedly correct for Polish rifles, I believe, but not all? Then I read somewhere that the "circle Z" stamp is Czechicon. So which is correct?
    But my specific problem right now is the stamps on two bolts I now have, one is in a Polish K98 (probably a Sovieticon rework) and the other is a DWM Chileicon 1895. Both are marked as shown in the attached pics; crossed hammers and a "daisy" mark. Can't both be correct! BTW, no other marks whatsoever.
    Any ideas?

    A "circle z" stamp would be a Czechicon VZ-24stamp. Not Polish at all. No idea about your first bolt. The second bolt is Spanish, I think.

    The photo surely seems to holler "Spanish"! But that's not anything more than a gut feeling.

    I took the tedious road to find the answer, by comparing this bolt to my other rifles, ones that I know are correct. Turns out it's an exact match for a Chileanicon. So it's kind of Spanish, no? BTW, i probably wasn't real clear, but both pics were of the same bolt.
