K98 Question!

**Trung Si** · 07-13-2013 07:48 PM

I have a bnz 44 K98 icon

(Steyer, can't make up my mind if it is a RC, but the marks on the Mag Floorplate puzzle me, has anyone seen them before?

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Picture isn't that clear to me but, if there are crossed out numbers then the floor plate has been force matched to the rifle.
More pictures will help to ID if its R/C or not...

There are Numbers underneath those Marks, the Swastika underneath the Eagles have been ground of and what looked to be an SS Rune has been partially ground off!

Was hoping for more pictures of the stock and markings but it sounds like an R/C to me. force matching is par for the course. SS runes? doubt it,even if they where it does nothing for collector value.

The mark over the chamber looks like a partially struck Iraqi property mark to me. I'm guessing a post-war czech or east-german refurb of a K98k icon

for the Iraqi market.

It's kind of hard to tell but that sure looks like a large X over the 7 in the serial number on the barrel. I'm not up on where the RC rifles were stamped other then it being an X.

**WarPig1976** · 07-14-2013 01:38 PM

To complicate matters, it looks like Claven's picture also has an X over the 8/4. The mark doesn't look ground to me looks more like a Cyrillic letter?
