Bolt handle markings?

[Jescates]

My bolt handle on my RC has B U initials with what looks like Two crowns over the letters. Anyone know what they mean?

Imperial German markings for WW1 and Weimar period.

Wow, thanks! So my K98 is really a mixer, has WWI and WWII parts! I assume it's safe to shoot, the bolt works and locks up tight.

If you are going to leave that bolt in it, bring it to a gunsmith to have the headspace checked. Cheap investment for piece of mind. Is it a straight bolt handle or turned down version? Photo of the bolt would be nice for a more accurate description.

The bolt is turned down. I am looking around for a gunsmith that can check head space, don't need it blowing up in my face lol. Sorry for the crappy picture, it's the only one I have currently.

If the knob on that bolt is round and not flat on the back side, it could well be a bolt from a Mauser Banner model, 1934. Hard to find variation if so. Being a RC rifle all the bolt pieces are mismatched but a rarer bolt body for sure if it is what I think it is.

The knob is round, not flat. Yep, it's all different serial numbers for sure!

Unique and hard to find bolt body. What code is the rifle's receiver?

 

[Jescates]

It's a 660 1940.

Unique and lesser seen code rifle as well. Good find.

Thanks. I traded a guy a Norinco SKS and some ammo for it, didn't care for SKS and always wanted a K98, so it was a good trade. Just need to get it out on the range! Hopefully I can get the headspace checked soon. Thanks for your help.
