another mauser K98 id question...pics!!!

[tristanium]

i bought this k98 one year ago,read lots of stuff about captured K98 and still can't tell if this one is or not.the only electropenciled part is the safety.over teh BYF is an eagle with 135 underécupped buttplate with same numbers as the receiver,some waffenamps heve been grinded off,barrel re-blued.the numbers on the barrel doesn't match the receiver and other parts.the mag assembly seems to be renumbered to match the receiver no's..the mag ass'y screws are stamped with the two last numbers.the only markings on the stock are:K7 and K13 both in a rectangle and the serial number.i must forget lots of infos so whatever you want to ask...

Looks like an East German Vopo rework to me due to the
'Crown over the U' and the 'Crown over the N' marking on the barrel. Those are common rework marks on them.

Notice the heavy grinding on the bolt and the renumbering, the renumbering overall and the electro pencil.

no renumbering on the wood though.as far as i can see.re-numbering with punches rather than electropenciled...what does that means?

 

[tristanium]

other thoughts?

Steve got it.....Yugo's did similar things during refurb-grinding, renumbering, elecro-pencil, etc, but I don't think they would be proofed.

[tristanium]
