I am now the proud owner of a 1943 Mod 98 Mauser. From what I have learned so far, it was made in Germany (byf factory) and captured by the Russians. Stock and receiver have same serial #, but the stock is most likely not the original one. Receiver and barrel, trigger guard and trigger are all painted black and stock is heavily shellacked. Bore looks good and there are a couple of stamped Nazi Eagles with the swastikas that aren't peened out on the receiver in the proper spots. I spent a lot of time cleaning it yesterday and hope to go out and shoot it soon.
I know, I know, this post is worthless without photos. Will try to rectify that tomorrow, if I can remember how to do it.
