K98 SS Death Head Marked, BYF 42

It’s bad. Very, very bad. Epically, unbelievably bad. I’d return it if at all possible.

Thank you! Is the S rune on the reciever real and maybe someone faked the heads?

Mauser-Oberndorf (byf) never made rifles for the SS, Steyr (bnz) was the only manufacturer with a contract with the SS.Those never had skulls.

This rifle is "trying" to be a conversion rifle or something which were Gew 98's made in into 98k's at depots by the SS. Those were the only ones that had skull stamps and they were specifically placed. The two firing proofs (Nazi eagles) don't even make sense... This is a very poor attempt at a fake. And it's a shame too because byf 42 rifles are not a common maker/year combo, so they ruined it. Whoever did this is an idiot.

It is indeed, with Ray Milland, from the horror movie “The Thing With Two Heads.”

After looking up the movie title I want to say I've seen parts of that movie as a child born in mid-1980s. Even though it's from the 70s I grew up watching late 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s TV and Movies. Most of the Rosey Grier stuff I have seen is on Daniel Boone with Fess Parker. Jimmy Dean's "Josh Clemet" was the best character on Daniel Boone in my opinion. When I have time for TV or film it's always pre-1990s shows. I can't watch new TV because it's garbage writing and acting. Very few contemporary shows are as good and entertaining as the older shows and film (Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire for instance rocked). Plus, too politicized on top of it all. Sorry to bring film into this thread, but I thought it was cool to see Rosey Grier in a character I didn't quite recall.

Agreed! The Sopranos and Boardwalk Empire were excellent in all respects. Great writing and acting especially.
