There is a K98 (he says sniper ?) for sale on a local internet site that has me thinking. It's close enough to go see but first maybe some info from you experts would sure be appreciated?
If you want to go to the site it is www.pennswoods.net and then go to the classifieds and the "rifles" Its on the first page.
It says matching (but I dont think this guy knows much about these at all, ebven less than me"
Anyway on the phone he tells me the s/n is 84, but on the bolt it has 4163. Sounds to me like a mismatch.
But here is the question. He says its marked "ce 41 FP" and "Saur und Sohn Gewehrbrik Suhl"
Also he says there is a second bayonet lug of some type under the reg lug?
My question is "Could this be something special?" These are markings I am unfamiliar with.
He says its made in 1942. Seems awful low s/n for a rifle made in 41?
Could that be a serial number??
Thanks guys for any help. I want to go see in the morning if it sounds good.
Any idea on value. He says its not an import but a ver bring back.
Thanks
