K98k question on barrel markings

**Jordan A.** · 08-12-2013 07:45 PM

Hi Guys, I have a German Mauser K98k icon

with matching numbers from factory 42 made in 1938.
On the barrel are unknown markings that I need help with. In capital letters GUST WJT with the number 35127 below it and the capital letter I below that. Are these Swedish icon

markings from after the war? Thanks, in advance

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.

Hi there. I'm visiting with family out of town right now so don't have my Backbone book with me, but I would bet your GUST WJ marking stands for Gustloff Werke. It was a Nazi owned arms firm which also made G43s if memory serves me.
