WaA 634 on BRNO 98/34 Brazil

[Murkan Mike]

Why would a WaA 634 stamp be on a 98/34 BRNO rifle made for Brazil. I'm just wondering. Maybe someone here knows?

This is a Frankonia refurbish in nov.1980, question remains is the barell corect there? 3x WaA634 is strange there when the barell is matching to receiver, i believe the piece was reblued as visible weakly model and serial number designation.

Fake stamps

not an exhaustive search, but 3 online references show WaA627 & next # is WaA637, & style of mark seems off, like the Polish guy’s stuff on ebay.

I also think it looks fake.

I don't understand why someone would even attempt this on a Brazilain rifle.

easier way made a higher price on it as maybe used by germans??

Turn a $500 rifle into a $750 rifle when you convince some rube at the gun show that it has some connection to the third reich.

Perhaps just practice for something else?

That's almost always it. Like 97% IMHO. The other 3% is someone who thought it would 'look cool'.

They probably looked at a Portuguese rifle and said “well….. maybe I’ll snag an idiot.”
