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

I saw this carbine about a month ago or so. Interesting carbine because of the stock. Without seeing the unit mark. I can't say it saw action with the Schutztruppe. I have it cataloged as 1904/Erfurt/1637/Kar.98/? (carbine is a Kar.98 2nd model.)

Thank you. I just saw that.

What do you mean there are two on this forum? Like two of the same type of rifle?

I am glad you like the rifle Sam.

Paul here is some information I received from Mr Speed. When I posted this rifle a couple years ago. Comment from Jon Speed regarding this rifle. "The bolt is match and correct as commercial turn down bolts could also be used on 8.15X46r rifles. Bolt face is correct for rimmed round with...

I am glad you like it. Letting stuff go can be hard at times but hen you know when it's going to go to a good home and collector. That is always bonus.

Great looking rifle Chris. That bent bolt gives it a unique look.

Very nice. He and I have emailed each other from time to time. Mostly sharing information about Schutztruppe, Kar.98 and other stuff.

I also know the owner of those Carbines.
