The M bayonet has an unusual brass grip with diagonal serrations on the right grip, while the left grip is smooth. The double-curve added strength and rigidity, while keeping the hilt and point in alignment for thrusting efficiency.
German mauser k98 markings full#
Read the full story on this well-traveled bayonet. These modified bayonets were reissued to German rear-eschelon troops as sidearms and some were modified to fit German rifles during the First World War. Some of the major design improvements over previous Mauser designs included cocking of bolt on opening, larger gas holes in bolt, an enlarged receiver ring, and locking screws for the guard screws.The bayonet was subsequently captured by the Germans during the Franco-Prussian War of - The Scabbard is modified by fitting a German frog stud, so that it may be carried using a M belt frog. Also referred to as the Gew 98, Rifle 98, Model 98, etc. Adopted in April of as the Gewehr Rifle by Germany. Write me for more instructiions if you like. That's a WWI era gun It should have a date. Update: The side of the receiver is marked GEW98, and on the top there's Danzigso I know it's German, but I was wondering about some of the symbols - there are about 6 different size crowns stamped in various places, and what looks like a phoenix bird stamped on the right side of the receiver.Īnswer Save. Since a Mauser is also a german gun that I'm going to guess that the markings on it may have similar meaning, but IDK. Basically they are just marking designating the specific factory and location they were made. Just a hunch here, but HK's pistols German make ofcourse have marking on them too. Take some good pictures of the various markings to post and follow the Mauser thread, it will be very interesting. Due to Paul Mauser's genius there have been over one hundred million mauser rifles made and the krauts are meticulous record keepers in triplicate, usually so with a little time spent you should be able to trace the history of your rifle. Good luck! Google Mauser and follow the thread. Wolf is loading 8mm too but I have not used it. The Remington factory 8mm is a bit more powerful than the but the has killed a lot of deer, millions no doubt. One shot by the way, but that was more placement than anything else. I shot my first deer with an 8mm mauser and Remington factory ammo, the grain. Don't be concerned about it having the ballistics of the old. If all you can find is Remington Core-lokt, then go for it. If there is a large X on the left side of the receiver, that's a Russian mark showing it was captured, rearsenaled and warehoused by them after the war. Just two ends of the spectrum for example. The Turks on the other hand provide us with almost no deciphering of any codes, as they seemed to have destroyed all those old records and they probably thought it was not important. If you have a German Model K98k carbine from the WWII era, you are in luck because those guys kept meticulous records of all their marks. Also found can be armorers stamps to show they were modified, rechambered, rearsenaled overhauledbarrel s changed, etc.
