I am looking at , what appears to be an original WW2 Mauser K98 with matching numbers ( except the butt plate). This Byj 41 manufactured rifle is in very good condition and seems to have a non blued matching bolt (is this common). The unusual part of the rifle is the asterisk type Star stamp above the serial number on the left side. The matching serial number is also stamped on the left side of the butt stock. The stock seems very clean and probably very new or refinished. It does not have the usual “X” Russian Capture mark, and I would like to know if this is something unusual? I was told, by the owner that he was told that it may be from a “Czech factory?”
I was hoping to get some help as to the authenticity of the rifle and the Waffenamt stamps that most seem quite clear. I am very new to the German Mauser K98.
If anyone could help with any insight, thoughts or other information about this rifle it is greatly appreciated.
