Hey guys!
A friend of mine has recently acquired a Mauser 98, or what appears to be a veeery short version of it! I've never seen anything like it before and I wonder if any of you can identify it?
He showed it to me and I could not see any crest or stamps, just a MOD 98 on the receiver bridge. Caliber is 8x57 mauser, rear sight is a 200-1400m small leaf sight, the overall length is only about 37 inches, it has the washboard-buttplate and overall condition is breathtaking.
Actually a little too good.
He did not allow me to disassemble it to look for further markings.
It looks very much like a G33/40, size-wise. .
I took pictures though:
