Hi,
I am new to the forum and have a new fetish, I have started a collection of Gewehr 98s by maker and date. I am going to try to limit myself to the war years and stay under $300 (unless a gem pops up). So far I have bagged an easy one and a tough one. The 1915 Simson Suhl is on top and the 1917 Waffenfabrik Mauser is on bottom. The Simson has a strange stock marking near the disk, any idea what the mark was for?
Thanks in advance and sorry for the bad pictures.
