1916 Danzig Gew98, 1913 Waffenfabrik Mauser Gew98, & unmarked S1898 "Quillback"
Hello K98k Forum,
New to this board, but I figured I'd ask for your input regarding these two rifles that have come into my possession along with an S1898 "quillback" bayonet
1916 Danzig Gew 98
From my understanding, 1916 Danzig Gew98s aren't anything too rare, as 1916 was its largest production year. This rifle has been reblued by the German government after the war, replacing the Lange sight with a tangent sight typical of K98ks. I believe these rifles were utilized by the Weimar Reichswehr? Nearly all matching, bolt is mismatched but matches to itself. Bolt handle has been stamped with serial number of receiver, which indicates a force matching by the armory that refurbished this rifle. Bluing is quite deep and good condition overall. Bore is in fair to good condition, not counterbored. The stock hass an odd "A" cartouche near the doughnut.
