I recently came into possession of my great uncles K98. I was always told he brought it back from WWII and was interested in what you knowledgeable folks could make of these markings. I shot my first white tail with this rifle with uncle Buck and plan on dying with it in my gun cabinet but would love to know a bit more about the gun.....any help would be appreciated.
