An excellent job at photographs! Covered everything this time and clearly. Other than flipping the crossbolt back, you have a damn fine rifle, even with the etched numbers. Had it not been for those two things this would be a super rifle, - perfect mate for your byf/43, both years (1916 & 1943) were similar for the company during war, both years were about the peak effort. In 1916 they made the most G98's, not surpassed until 1939 (with the 98k), with about 320k rifles. In 1943 it was the second highest year for Mauser ever, with 550k, not surpassed until 1944 with 665k, which is the record for any maker of the Modell98 military rifle (Brno combined made more, dot & dou, - their production totals are combined, but individual operations byf/44 is highest..).
Anyway, they make a nice representative pair.
