Mauser Model 98 - Year, info, etc.
« on: October 27, 2017, 12:02:12 PM »
Have a German Mauser M98 with the letters (lowercase) "bcd" stamped on top of the receiver above the number "4." Serial number on barrel is 29384 to the right of an eagle with NO swastika under (empty ball in talons) -

Anyone help me get started on the research here? Thanks a million - M.D. Johnson
