1939 Mod.98 German 8mm Mauser
This is a WWII bring back from Europe. My father and his brother worked together to bring back stuff after their WWII military service in Africa, Italy, and Germany. This arm saw some action so the woodwork in dinged up. The bore looks good with little if any pitting. The gun functions smoothly and looks shootable. Ser.#36xx . Some parts have "g" stamped under the SerNo . The chamber and other parts have a Phoenix stamping. Some parts are stamped with eagle on a circle enclosing a swastika over "26". The chamber is stamped 7,9 also 243 over 1939 also 393-38- Do (with 2 dots over the o). The SerNo stamped on the bolt and chamber and all other parts all match. Smaller parts like screw heads have the last 2 digits of SerNo and eagle over "26". No numbers are scratched out or stamped over. Anyone having any info about where this rifle was made and what all the stampings mean and what they are for please respond. It will be appreciated. Any good value estimate will also be appreciated.
