Hello All,
I recently purchased a k98 receiver (machined for stripper clips) with no crest marking. The receiver and bolt are blued, has a kickoff installed for use with set triggers and has dovetailed claw mounts installed. There is no magazine/trigger guard/floorplate. The action is extraordinarily smooth.
I apologize for not sending photos as I currently do not have a digital camera; this is what I've found so far:
-- the right side of the front ring has "2066.54", "NPF" and a small
faint eagle with vertical wings, all three markings in a row and parallel
to the bore (gun #2066 in 1954 from Ferlach?)
-- no markings on the bolt assembly, but the underside of the bolt handle is flat and finely grooved
-- the front ring has a small serial number on the left side, #4268
-- the flat beneath the front ring has "442a" stamped on it along
with a small stamped "+"
-- there are four spots where a symbol is stamped that looks
like a sideways letter "s" with a small "o" superimposed in its center
-- the sear is stamped with the number "59"
-- on the right edge of the recoil lug is a small "8" and
large "60"
-- on the left side of the front ring, just below the wood line, is
the sideways letter "s" with the number 242
-- on the left side of the front ring at the wood line is a small
triangle with three raised dots inside of it
-- the front face of the recoil lug has the sideways letter "s", a small letter
"c" and the number "3"
Any help would be greatly appreciated; thank you in advance for your time.
