Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but get it in hand and i think you'll appreciate how light and easy to handle they are. To answer the question though i think they look cool.

Thanks for posting!

Great find, Chris. I added it to the reference!

That’s an exceptional find for sure, congrats! Wonderful condition and thank you for taking such thorough photos. Even without German usage these are great Mausers. I’ll get it in the reference.

KM muzzle cover, marked Werft zu Danzig with the old K.W.D. stamp lined out. Note the acceptance, consistent with 1906 KM Gews made by DWM.

For reference, muzzle cover marked to the Danzig dock yard.

Hi, Richard Here is an example of one that i photographed. (These are older pictures before i got better with lighting, but still gives you an idea of what markings to document.) https://www.k98kforum.com/threads/amberg-1878-42938.21726/ Thank you for your willingness to post more photos! If...

These are both exceptional looking Mauser 71s. While i'm sure Paul will add these to the 71 research, if you do individual threads for them i would love to add them to the reference.

Wonderful Jaeger Chris. Updated the reference, had your original photos from 2015.

Nice find, Piotr! Looking forward to seeing the rest of the photos. Are all of them DMW? Also, feel free to start a new thread.

This topic came up on Gunboards back when I still went there occasionally. Aside from the bring backs, as Chris mentioned, a lot came from South America. Apparently many were sold by Germany to Ecuador, but were soon outdated and were never used. They were put in proper storage and remained in...

I'll add to Marc's comment, this could also be an Amberg rework. The wrist would be the way to tell, but this might be too sanded to say. It is definitely Bavarian though, which makes me think the Bolt is plausible, it being from an Amberg. For comparison Sam recently posted an Amberg rework...

Awesome postcard. Love the Saxon Wappen. I have a sword marked to IR 181, and a rifle to its reserve: Post in thread 'Gewehr 98 DWM 1907 3101d' https://www.k98kforum.com/threads/gewehr-98-dwm-1907-3101d.50181/post-375036

Absolute stunner! I added it to the reference.

Thanks for the additional photos! This is a nice one, I’m quite fond of warhorses. I’ll get it in the reference.

You can say my name Jordan, if you can remember it. This is all in the public sphere—this forum, Gun Broker, and other venues we all frequent—we all know who everyone is so it does you no good to speak of “a few people.” There is no need to defend yourself, you are completely in your rights to...

Bolt body is period depot renumbered, but striker assembly is mismatched. A correct navy bolt and bolt parts from this era would have c/S acceptance, though the depot work could have been navy related. Of course without a buttplate it's impossible to tell who did the renumbering, so from a...

Sounds good! I know it’s a bit of a hassle, but we who study these would really appreciate it. Again, it’s an awesome Kar!

Absolutely outstanding Kar, thank you for posting it here. It is truly exceptional in condition, i'm sure many here are as envious of it as i am. It definitely should be in the reference, but i can't tell a lot from your photos, other than how nice it is. Can you try to take photos of serial...
