So, I have the opportunity to purchase this 1918 Amberg Gew 98 that may or may not be a Gew98m. I'm not that familiar with these but I know folks here are. To start, the barrel, receiver, trigger guard, action screws and sear all match. The stock is matching but only with some small numbers that match the gun on the left side of the stock. The stock also exhibits a large "A" on left side of the stock. There are no numbers inside the barrel channel or handguard and there are no Imperial German markings present anywhere on the stock. The entire bolt matches itself but not to the rifle. The bolt number has been scrubbed but the extractor, firing pin, safety, cocking piece and bolt sleeve all match. There are no import markings on the rifle. Barrel is normal Gew98 length (Compared to my 1916 Danzig). The barrel has a Bohler steel code on the bottom, but I didn't take a picture of it. With all that stated, my question is "What is this rifle?" and what would be a respectable offer? The bore is bright/shiny with very strong rifling. Thanks in advance folks and here are the pictures.
