I found this on my k98k and cannot find what it means for the life of me...
can we first have a talk about all that pitting and wear and how much you paid for this rifle

>OPs rifle has a dick carved in the bolt by some bored nazi
my sides
>>29885517
also this
>>29885517
Didn't pay a dime, but my grandfather didn't take very good care of it.
>>29885493
Remains of an old Prussian eagle firing proof. Means the bolt was made during the Kaiserreich.
>>29885560
this, it's an eagle so it's certainly imperial of some sort
>>29885546
a shame. you should consider getting it re-blued
>>29885597
I have. He kept it in a she in south louisiana for 20 years sooo...
>>29885597
So he can lose any collectors value it might have had?
the rifling is in good shape. I've put about 500 rounds of varying surplus, prvi-partizan, and sellier and bellot through it. Shoots a little to the left, but decent groups.
Also, it has a duffel cut
>>29885493
I see a pedobear
>>29886506
Only because you want to
>>29885663
Only matters if he intends to sell it.
>>29886550
I don't plan on selling it, but plans can change. Even if I dont, I'm not messing with it.
>>29885663
Collectors value on a rusted to shit Mauser?
It's not that rusted... shoots fine. Will still kill bolsheviks
>>29886464
Fucking why?
>>29886824
Because when GIs brought them home, they would cut the stick at the front barrel band to take the whole stock off. It would then fit into the duffel bag.
>>29886824
Believe it or not, fixing it would devalue it further
