Been on a roll lately and this is my second Gew98 purchase in less then two months. Couldn't pass it up. Been looking for an Erfurt made Gew98 for quite some time and now I finally have one. This rifle is all matching besides the hand-guard and cleaning rod. Only bad I would have too say is one of the barrel band spring clips is broken. Not a big deal too me I'm very happy with this rifle too say the least. Whats interesting is comparing this Gew98 made by this maker too some of my other Gew98 rifles I own. Alot more sloppy and more tool markings then compared too my other Gew98 rifles I own. But in reality its incredible how much Erfurt was producing during the first World War. Such as Gew98 rifles, almost all of the Kar98a carbine production, S98/05 bayonets, lots of P08 Lugers, and MG08 machine guns. Really is quite a feat. Also wanted too add this rifle did pass through a depot as well marked 1 for Danzig. Might explain where the mismatched hand guard came from. But who really knows.
Oh and it goes well my Erfurt collection! It was feeling quite lonely without a Erfurt Gew98 rifle. And I'm not buying a Erfurt MG08 Maxim next lol!
