Hey all! Looking for help in identifying this WWII Era Mauser.
So far, I’ve determined it was manufactured by Waffen-Werke Brunn AG in Brno, Czechoslovakia (based on the “dot” marking) in 1943.
Other markings, however, I’m stumped by:

So far, I’ve determined it was manufactured by Waffen-Werke Brunn AG in Brno, Czechoslovakia (based on the “dot” marking) in 1943.
Other markings, however, I’m stumped by:
- On the barrel is a shield with a 13 in it and the letters “DV” next to it.
- On the barrel there are two letter “s” in circles right next to each other
- I don’t believe the rear sight is original, it is marked “Redfield” in extremely clean machining.
- I’m confused about the stock length along the barrel. Most Mausers I’ve seen have the stock run along nearly the full length of the barrel while this one is short.
- Is this a Mauser 98 or 98k?
