No, we don't have anything to do with Germany here, folks

A neighbor joined the Army in Kansas, in the beginning he was a German with a German name. His mother and father were German and then WW1, his father interpreted their German name to English and then became a family named Whitebread.

At the recruiting office the recruiter looked at the name and then said "Whitebread-you are Indian? Going through life as an Indian was easier than going through life as A German so he answered 'yes. He became a B24 Pilot. He returned and set up business in Dallas, he went to a restaurant thinking he was welcome, he was almost beaten to death. The difficult part? Was finding someone that cared.

Better perspective of rifle. Looks like a Spanish Mauser to me (bring back?).

Just looks like discoloration on side of butt

Yeah, definitely not a '98 Mauser.
