I purchased this rifle thinking it was a bring back war prize. The inset eagle seems to be from a Wehrmacht cap badge. The numbers are all matching, including the stock. I realize the stock is not a standard 98k stock and am wondering if it might be a GEW98 stock. It is not drilled for a cleaning rod, although the lug has a hole in it. Both handguard and stock are numbered to the receiver which has been drilled and tapped for a scope. The bolt is also matching. The barrel appears to be reblued, along with a blued bolt, and the rest of the receiver has a parkerized finish that almost looks like a powder coating or even a sprayed on finish. I don't recognize the circled symbol on the left side of the buttstock. I have more pictures but I'm being told they are too big to upload here. Any insights will be appreciated.
