What Mauser 98 is this?

[MD]

This is all there is on the rifle except calibre (7.92) and a serial number.

Is it Spanish?

Thanks. I had one before but I coulda sworn it said "La Coruna" on it and had a different crest.

There were two different crests. The Model 43 had the markings you describe and was for the Army.

This one was built for the Air Force, to serve alongside all those Messerschmitt 109s, Junkers 88s and Heinkel 111s.

At least the RIFLES were Spanish!
