Hey first time post,
I live in France and am looking at buying a 98k from a local gun shop to hunt with. its a 1936 98k, all numbers match, event the cleaning rod and all the swastika and eagles are intact. There is no x or lined our numbers. It has a crest on the receiver and is marked with German factory marking (location). The issue is that above the German serial numbers there is 2 symbols and a number engraved in a non symmetrical fashion (its not written in a straight line). I have no pics, but I will try to go back and get some. The first symbol looks like 2 ovals that touch and look like this > then comes a number and then there is a wavy line with hash tags through is so it looks like a Fern. the original finish is worn of in parts and nothing has been re-done. Any one have any ideas with out seeing pics.
It was in a crate with some arabic mausers, a few Russian captures and some other 1950s fresh out of the cosmoline. Bore is good and they are asking 550 Euros. Any advice would be helpful.
Matt
