Hi all this is my first post in the Mauser forum, as Im afraid to say generally I'm an Enfield man (sorry).
Anyway my question is this I have recently been followed home by a Yugoicon capture K98icon, and have a couple of questions.
It has been scrubbed of most of the german markings but some remain in obscure places, it is marked with the Yugo crest on the reciever along with Preduzece 44, but in good light I can see the remains of J. P. Sauer & Sonne, which leads me to the question when did the Germans stop the manufacturers from using trade names ?, that is if they ever did or was this a private purchase, or was it pressed into service at some stage ???.
It just seems a bit strange as all of the K98s I have seen in pictures or in the flesh have had reciever code No'sAttachment 35166Attachment 35167Attachment 35168
