This seems to some Hebrew markings,am I right?If yes ,what do they mean? What about the letters(they look more like some hieroglyphic cartouche to me) underneath the arrow? Other side ,the 2 unknown letters look like a crown maybe? What does the "R" in front means?Also the character on top seems to be Hebrew?If it is ,does it mean anything?Īnd again on the right of the picture the letters "AN" and another set of 2 letters.not sure which ones.What are they? This is quite puzzling to me.except the 7.62 which would mean the rifle had to be refurbished for NATO ammunition at some point? "dou" means it was built in Považská Bystrica part of the Brno factory in Slovakia.(Waffenwerke Brünn AG,Werk Považská Bystrica).įirst I thought it could be a Vz.24 but it seems that the plant switched production to K98k in 1942.So if the number "43" is the year of production,it has to be a K98k,right?Īlso what does the 2 letters "dy" and "AN" mean?By the left part of the "dou" ,is it me of it seems it's been rubbed off,I can make out a "2" maybe? ![]() ![]() The swastika has been scratched and it seems to have 2 stars of David,one above and one underneath the German eagle?Īlso what does the "m" and the stamp on the lower right of the serial number means? ![]() My uncle showed me his Mauser K98k he purchased a while ago and I promised I would try to gather as much information as I could.So thanks in advance for any piece of info you could give me.
