The BC is typical of Hannover jobs, basically ordnance spares, offhand I can't remember if I attributed it to a steel provider. I will add more pictures of the BC tomorrow, have limited time today.
IIRR "LOEWE" identified this one as a Danzig 1917, # 1130 cc,
Bases for Emil Busch, Visar 2 3/4x scope
Yes that is mine. It is 8606bb. He however asked about 1918 dating rifles only so I did not mention it.It is always a pleasure to be helpful to serious researchers.
I have some photos showing another original claw mount Danzig 1917 with Gl.V. rear sight.
But since I do not remember where I got the photos from, only a part of the serial: 86?? bb

Deleted,
Sorry! mistake!
Checked all of my gew98 rifles last night for that marking on the rear sight. No luck I do not have a single rifle with that marking. But being your researching this if I do come across any rifles with that marking. I will try to get the information to you.
I have posted detailed pictures of Glasvisier 16 #6000 attached to one of the rifles mentioned in the starting post in the sniper section of this forum: http://www.k98kforum.com/showthread...-Glasvisier-16&p=256844&viewfull=1#post256844
This Glasvisier is on display at the Militärmuseum Sonntagberg in Lower Austria. I don't think the rifle it sits on has a Gl.V. marked rear sight, but can't really make it out. Comes with front sight and original pouch, so despite of the condition quite a "good" ensemble.
Take special note of the "K" marking on the Glasvisier on the main tube. I have never seen this before, anyone an idea on the meaning?

Digging with Google it came up with scope #725. With some detailed playing around I got the attached better pics. It clearly shows that this scope also has the K marking. Maybe then a feature of early scopes. Do you have pictures of scope #785 to find out if this scope has these marking as well?
