Fantastic example of a Schutztruppegewehr 98. It really clean and in great shape. I think you did great. The rifle was used by the Union of South Africa Defence Force or UDF pre - 1964 markings. Verkauft = sold. Arrow in U = service Diamond in U = sold out of service. Your's looks a lot better...

Thanks Chris. I am glad it finally came too. Thank you.

Well first things first. I won this 1883 Reichsrevolvers, or Der Revolver back in May 2021. When they say patience is a virtue you better believe it because I had a lot of patience. A lot of delays. A lot of emails. My packages even shipped to Chicago and never claimed and shipped back to South...

Thank you. I am glad you liked my summary on the early 98 carbines. It was fun to wirte. I also catalog in document known surviving examples. https://www.k98kforum.com/threads/known-surviving-kav-kar-98-art-kar-98-and-kar-98-1st-variant-and-2nd-model.48781/

Sadly wiki is wrong about the Kar.98A. No surprise there. Some people will call them Kar.98 first pattern and second pattern. Both of those terms are also wrong. The correct term is Kav.Kar.98, Art.Kar.98, Kar.98 1st variant and Kar.98 2nd model. Here is a little history I wrote up about the...

Ah. I see it now. I didn't see it at first.

TC? That is two L's back to back with a C. Standing for Ludwig Loewe & Company. I kind of feel like this is a salesman's rifle. Or some type of factory workshop model. There's no Prussian acceptance marks. Here is an example of the company's Crest that they would stamp on rifles. You can often...

Well I have posted in the Bayonet and Accessories section. I don't have a lot of bayonets. The Imperial German colonies and Overseas Forces is my main focus. 95% of all my bayonets are from the German colonies or Overseas Forces. I apologize in advance that all of my backgrounds for my photos...

Awesome rifle Chris. I like salty look the rifle has. It gives it some character. I love that muzzle cover.

No worries typos happen. Great looking rifle by the way.

Sorry this is not related to any of the stamps or proof marks on your rifle. Your title has 1882 Spandau 71-84. I believe that is dated 1887. Not 1882. At first glance it did look like an 1882. Then I zoomed in and that period next to the seven does may it look like a two.

Thank you Andy for information.

Hey Andy, sorry it took me awhile to get back to you. I took some photos of the bayonet frog for you.

Andy I am not really sure about the frog.

Three S98aA bayonets made by Erfurt and dated 1899. S98aA sawback Erfurt W99. Cross guard marked (F.P.3.33 for Fuhrpark-Kolonne of a Schutztruppe in German South-West Africa or DSWA.) S98aA Erfurt W99. Cross guard marked is blank. Probably scrubbed away a long time ago. S98aA shortened...

Well done Marc. It's always good to acquire something that you've been looking so hard for. I think it looks great.

Damn, that's a great looking M1871. Your photography is outstanding like always Georg.

Stunning rifle and bayonet Chris. There's something always exciting about looking at a pre-war Gew 98.

Out of the very few Amberg made Gewehr 98'S I have owned. This one was my favorite. I am happy you like it Sam. It looks great in the photos.

Not my cup of tea of videos but I enjoyed watching it. I also give you a thumbs up on your Channel
