Thanks, a friend sent the photo asking about the marking and I was focused on the marking rather than the rivets. I apologize for the misidentification, your information I will pass this along to him.

What is the Grz abbreviation? I cannot find an exact match in my reference books. Thought it best to post here rather than in the bayonet section since it would probably be wiped out by the WWII posts.

Thank you.

Very nice, thanks for sharing the photos.

Thanks guys. Chris, forgot that I had that book. Will check it out later today for any matches.

Chris, are you aware of any references for the various muzzle cover markings either book or website? I have Storz but it doesn't mention markings for the covers.

Picked up two nickel plated Gew.98 muzzle covers this past weekend at the AGCA show in Hoover, AL. The blued example (MC1) I purchased from a page member a couple of years ago.

You may want to post your photo on the Jan C. Still Luger forum in the Imperial Luger section. https://www.lugerforums.com/forums/1900-1918-p-08-army-lugers.22/

Very nice, I will have to get busy with the camera this weekend and post some photos.

Thanks. Trying to find things in my collection to share here, I have many more bayonets than I do Gew98s.

Would it be acceptable to post photos and comments about Imperial bayonets here rather than in the Bayonets and Accessories folder? They seem to fit better here than in the Bayonets and Accessories folder which is primarily WWII topics.

Very nice, congratulations on that find.

Thank you. I read a post on another forum about a fellow who bought a 71/84 that had a clipped firing pin, something I never thought to check, and rushed out to check the one I had recently purchased in a bit of a small panic. Was a bit concerned when I could not see the end of the firing pin...

With the bolt removed should you be able to see the end of the firing pin? Other bolt action rifles I own you can just see the end of the firing pin when looking at the face of the bolt but in the case of my 71/84 I cannot see it. Being not that familiar with 71/84s I do not know if this is...

Thanks for posting the link, I had forgotten about the index thread.
