Saw a Gewehr 98 in a local gun shop, asking price is $500. Spandau, 1918, newer model sight, metal and bore look very good, metal and wood looks like it wasn't issued or used in the field. No "patina". Does not appear to have been sanded as markings are present, not sanded out. Stock is "yellow", not dark walnut, does not look like it was finished. Doesn't look like it was re blued either, looks original. Bore is very good. Rifle is not matching, most different numbers including bolt parts. Cocking handle is stamped same as receiver, but in very small numbers, not typical 98 stamping, does not look like someone was trying to pass off as original. Underside of handle still has Imperial Eagle. No evidence of corrosion on bolt, or any other metal part. Owner does not know history of rifle. Any ideas of the history on this one? Is the $500 reasonable? thanks for any info or thoughts. jorgen
