Gewehr 98 DWM 1907 3101d

[PrayingMantis]

Picked this up recently from Chris. Very nice prewar DWM that’s a straight bolt mismatch.

Overall it’s in great shape and is a dufflecut. The metal is very well stamped, most acceptance stamps are c/W, c/U, c/N, and c/C. The stock is gorgeous, despite some nicks and gouges, with a great hefty feel. The disc is unit marked to the replacement battalion of a Saxon reserve infantry regiment.

Great job detailing the rifle Cyrus! Super pictures, you guys are all getting so good doing pictures! - the BP suffix is especially welcome as it has so rarely been covered! In 20 years we may get a good idea of the universal practice?? So many seem to lack, but the angles are bad or the heavy wear on BP erase them, or who knows...

Lower bolt flats, BC's and BP suffix are my main thing these days, if i get one of the three I am happy!

***DWM is also "ALWAYS" nice to see detailed out!

I was happy to pass this one along to you Cyrus, glad you gave it such a nice spread of photos. Definitely a cool rifle.

 

[PrayingMantis]

Thanks, everyone! Definitely a great rifle that I’m glad to have.

That's a great old warrior. We do love the pre-war unit marked ones....
