No, it is sure that it wasn't a resistance capture. My place saw heavy fighting between American troops and German troops in november 1944. It was in occupied Elsass-Lothringen. No resistance there unfortunately.
Dear friends, here's my plain jane K98 BYF43 from FRANCE. It's a "E" block.
It's an all matching except the bolt, which I guess was made by ERMA.
Feel free to comment!
The rifle was found as is, it was hidden under a sink.
