I picked this up a few weeks ago, my friend in NY said he had a local FFL that bought some guns from a VFW in upstate New York. There was 2 Gew 98's, 2 Springfield 1903's, and one MG08/15. My friend got the 1916 Spandau Gew 98, and I paid for/had him ship the 1915 DWM to me. We got them for $300 each, These were in rough condition and stored in the attic for years, I cleaned this one the best I could without harming any original finishes/patina that is left on it, even though it still looks a little rusty in some spots I have taken the time to clean it the best I can. From what I can tell it is all matching serial numbers minus the bolt, which had a clipped firing pin (I assume from being a VFW gun). When I pulled it apart there was some grease still on the bottom side of the action that has appeared to be there for a very long time (I have still left it in place). I posted barrel code pictures as well as I remember someone on here was collecting barrel numbers for these I believe? The barrel has also been counter-bored at some point in time. Either way I tried my best with the pictures otherwise. I know some of the pictures are showing up the wrong way, it was due to me forgetting to take the pictures the proper way with my Iphone. If you have any information you would like to add on to this rifle feel free to go ahead, if you want to use the pictures on this post as well for some reason feel free to use them.
