That's a special one for sure! Congrats on finally getting it.

Cyrus needs to move this thread to the Imperial Picture Reference Section to replace mine. Your pics & writeups far surpass mine. Don't worry, it won't bother me the least bit. This also applies to the gewehr's Cyrus & Sam acquired from me. Thanks!

What a great gewehr. I don't remember seeing it but that doesn't surprise me anymore, lol

That's interesting on the stock wood. Never too old to learn, lol. Any pics of those '17 WMO's with maple stocks available?

I like it but I'm kinda partial. Cyrus will be a great caretaker.

Wow, that's an impressive gewehr!

Excellent gewehr! Congrats, great pickup. Actually, a 1902 example popped up years back. I believe I have an extra "00" rod.

That's interesting Chris, thanks for sharing this. Now we know the true function of these.

Good deal, great info from Paul, a much rarer gewehr than originally thought.

Maybe excessive cleaning, lol. Please share your thoughts on the different ways this could have happened....

The serial numbering was 1-10000, 1a-10000a, etc. The 1-9999 is a common misconception that just keeps going on....

That's a good one Chris!

Yes it is, a good one. The three I've owned all had some paint loss.

Sweet! Is the extended mag original? Better close up pics will help determine that.

That's not a Gew98 sling....

All I can say is wow on this one, & not even a grey ghost special https://www.gunbroker.com/item/924458838

That's a great old warrior. We do love the pre-war unit marked ones....

No indications regarding it's configuration that would indicate anything other than Patronen 88....

A big gamble...

Excellent writeup & photo shoot Chris!
