Hey everybody. Just got back from a local gun show. I went to poke around and had a vague idea that I would like to find an old beat up bubbafied Mauser I could buy to try my hand at making a rifle for myself (I needed it pre-bubbafied because I am of the mind that a milsurp still in original condition needs to stay that way). I found a guy with two for $175 a piece. After much debate I finally walked away with both of them for $225. I now need you all's expertise to help me identify exactly what type of Mauser's I have purchased. Attached to this post is the pics of rifle number 1. It is an 8MM Mauser. If you cannot read the writing, on the side of the action it says "Gew. 98." and there is some sort of proof mark in front of the serial number (9442) with "ll" (two lower case L) written in cursive under the serial number both on the action and the barrel. On the top of the action under the crest (a crown) it reads "DANZIG 1916"
