Danzig 1917 sniper gewehr

[Le mulot]

Hello,
For my first post, this new gewehr direct from attic.
It’s a full same number rifle.
It’s a Danzig of 1917 with GL.V mark on rear visor and bases for a scope.
I think it is either for Oigee or Dr Walter Gerard scope.
let me know your advice.
Thanks for watching

Looks like a nice, legit late 1917 Danzig Scharfschutze. I can’t quite make out the letter block. Can you do close up photos of the serial number and individual markings?

Here is a similar one that belongs to @chrisftk

1917 Danzig/Voigtlander Scharfschutzen-Gewehr 98

First, let me thank Sam, Cyrus and Wolfgang for helping me identify this rifle and Marc for the peer pressure to buy it. I picked this up at the recent Amoskeag auction. My gut was that this one was fine after looking the listing over, so I took a chance. I don't typically chase sniper rifles...

It is the brother to my rifle

GEW98 WW1 Sniper * updated with new optics

Here is my example of a scarce WW1 Sniper rifle. Not sure where to post this, so I will start here as it is an imperial weapon. I have never taken the time to take better photos of it, but since its raining all day.... The base rifle is a composition of 2 rifles. The b/r, bolt, follower...

This time I think I’ve been able to insert better pics (I hope…)

That’s a wonderful, late Danzig Scharfschutzengewehr. It’s an Oigee rig, around 370k in for the year, Danzig made it into the ‘nn’ block that year which lands around 400k.

Super awesome rifle. Love how untouched it is. Thank you for sharing! @Amberg might be able to confirm if it originally has carried a Gerard scope.

Pardon my ignorance, but I'm not familiar with the term "visor ". What is that?

I think he means the rear sight. I believe he's French and may have just mistranslated the English word.

Thanks Chris, his English is better than my French, which is tres mediocre.
And yes, it is a very nice rifle.

Sorry for the mistake. Visor = sight

Thanks, but my guess wouldn't be any better than yours.

 

[Amberg]

my guess wouldn't be any better than yours.

but I think I would try out a Hensoldt Dialyt 3x first.

Why not? But the most difficult part is to find the scopes for a try.
