So I just received the weirdest items.. Gew 98 Sniper rifles that look to be Russian Captures. Since the Russians lost WW1 and I doubt they started their shellac/rebluing until after WW2 it leaves me scratching my head as to the story behind these.
No pictures at the moment. The importer had hidden these away for investment I guess and I got ahold of them. Three in all. Not matching, typical RC style refurbishment with no scope/mount but the bases are still there and I'm confident they are legit and not something done stateside.
My only guess is that during WW2 the Germans used Gew 98 snipers and these got captured or surrendered to the Ruskies?
Anyone have any idea?
Will try to grab some pictures later.
