I just got a Kar98 today, and I've got some questions. Mine looks a bit different than other pictures I've seen.
For example: What happened to the cleaning rod I've seen on other Mausers?
Secondly: I've noticed many shoulder straps are attached to a right that can pivot - why is mine static?
Thirdly: here is a pic of the whole thing, just because.
Its not very a good picture.
Finally, a question without a picture - I've found many of the German stamps on it (the eagle, 2 J's, etc), but what numbers mean what and where?
Thanks for any info and thanks for having me here!
