Hi guys, this section hasn't had much activity the last couple weeks, so here's something to hopefully start a conversation.
I picked this up here on the forum trader, but I haven't seen it previously posted, so I thought I'd do a full spread on it. I'm a big fan of republican era rebuilds and have a few of these 98a ones now.
This 1916 Erfurt was rebuilt in the interwar period with a hodgepodge of spare parts. Most parts were re-serialized (very crudely). The non-matched parts I could see are the two screws and trigger/sear and the handguard. This is one of the rougher rebuilds I've seen quality-wise.
The receiver looks to have been scrubbed on the left side/ re-numbered (and eagle scrubbed) during the rebuild as well. The bolt body re-numbering is particularly sloppy and the proofs on the triggerguard were removed as well.
Looks like there may have been a unit mark on top of the buttplate but it was scrubbed.
In any case, I hope you enjoy. Thanks for looking.
