    I was doing some thinking on this, what if it was sent to the Ottoman Empire (Turkey)? They used 7.65, and that symbol on the barrel almost looks like a crescent moon with a star (which was the Turkishicon symbol).

    Not too many Kar98a's where shipped off to Turkeyicon. Tough one to figure out.

    7.65 x 53 is very close.

    just putting the thought out there, could it be a variant made on the same premise as 7.7 by 54r? aka turn an illegal military calibre into a legal non military one by shortening the barrel at the breach end, rethreading barrel then shortening the cases to match?

    a little on 7.7 by 54r: https://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=25320
