Yes you should start your own thread, but the “H” means that the rifle was made for the ARMY, or in German:’Heer’. ‘L’ or ‘M’ would indicate that a rifle was made for the Luftwaffe or KriegsMarine (air force or navy)presence of the letters varied over time & among manufacturers. At some times the H was larger or smaller as well.Hey all. Does anybody know what the “H” means on this BNZ 4 K98 pic? Have more questions and pics, dependent on any answers. Thanks!

Not the greatest photo, but after zooming in and looking at the action. I'm just going off the rifle having a thumb cut out on side of the action. I really feel like the rifle is a customized Ottoman 1893. At the same time it looks like there's a magazine cut off button by the bolt. So it could it be an updated and customized post-WWI Ottoman 1893.View attachment 418339Hi can anyone help me identify the exect mark of this mauser. Would appriciate it. Thanks in advance.
