Thanks for the add to the group. First time posting so bear with me if I manage to break the rules
I am the new owner of a K98k bnz 43 Mauser. I know the story of a US soldier in France during the Liberation. Two bring back rifles, one a battlefield pickup and this one found in a village courthouse behind a door. What I don't know is what all of the markings mean. Two in particular I have not found information on, so I reach out to the experience of the group. On the barrel is a shield with bnz over a 1, next to that on the barrel is a Cb, on the trigger housing is a symbol on top of a 77. Your help is appreciated.Thanks
