My father recently passed down a Sempert&Krieghoff Suhl 8x57 mauser to me and I am attempting to determine its age or anything regarding the rifle's history. At this point, all is know is that my father's uncle obtained it during the war, and from what I've been able to determine from early research is that the Suhl factory was destroyed during the war. Does anyone know of any sites or books i can use to conduct the research. Additionally, I am looking for information on ammunition availability and if there are any scope mounts produced that would fit the rifle's existing attachment points. Thanks in advance for any assistance anyone can provide.
