Well, at least it is very well done and not a chop job. It may not be a popular thing to say but I like it. For what it is.
It isn't sporterized, this is a postwar commercial rifle made up of leftover 98a components
Yes I think also. But I am not sure if components of the rifle are really from Erfurt.
Can you show us another picture from the receiver (translate Kammerstengel ?)
Can you find any German firing proof? They must exist.
What is on the picture here?

It isn't sporterized, this is a postwar commercial rifle made up of leftover 98a components, made by the remnants of Erfurt. All the arsenals made them, Danzig most common, but Amberg and Erfurt's are well known. Look at the siderail, - the rifle is characteristic of others known.
First, thank you shoots for the other pictures.
The bending from the receiver seems so untypical but maybe it is an optical illusion from me.

All German rifles get a firing proof until the law from 1891 – even for export! Perhaps later they change the law with act of disposal, but I can’t find in the next law (Beschußgesetz 07. Juni 1939) an advice for changing the old administration. Have you further information?
At every time in Germany you need a license to get a rifle. In the Nazi period only it was easier for the organizations of the NSDAP. Apart from that it was difficult like today.
The typical German trigger for huntsman here on this rifle is mostly used in Germany. I think an export is rare.
