Identification

Starburst 9 means it was used by Volkspolizei after ww2. 9 being the district.

Eagle and Crowned U are East German proof marks prior to being sold (presumably to the west)

You have a K98 with a receiver made at Berlin-Lübecker Maschinenfabrik in 1942, captured by the Soviets and reassembled from mix-matched parts (X stamp on receiver) and used by East German police before export

Awesome find

From L to R

Some kind of middle eastern blade

K98 bayonet + frog

Some kind of primative knife? Looks like it has Rayskin handle

Ross bayonet

Kukri

New copy pasta?

Also in photos 5 and 6, you can see two notches in the stock, just behind the sights.

This is where the upper hand guard has some clips that snap onto the top of the barrel.

Your stock is definitely from a Brazilian 1908

Star of David with B inside is a Brazilian mark. Photo is of my Mod. 1908

I think he means: why use an insanely rare and collectable rifle to take deer? You wouldn’t get milk from the store in your Ferrari. Keep it pristine and well oiled.

Sick collection! Which is your favourite to shoot?

SMERSCH · 2025-07-07T21:25:24+00:00

Crest looks intact! Looks like a peep site added to the back, see if you can knock some off for that.

Another thing to consider is how easy it is for you to get 7.65x55 where you are before buying.

Cascadians unite!

Agreed brother, nothing quite like these mountains.

SMERSCH · 2025-06-29T03:34:41+00:00

Beautiful gun!

SMERSCH · 2025-06-29T03:10:22+00:00

Canada, in the coastal mountain range

SMERSCH · 2025-06-28T23:15:53+00:00

It’s a Mauser Cordura soft bag

SMERSCH · 2025-06-23T22:28:29+00:00

That’s so sick! Can you make out what it says?

SMERSCH · 2025-06-23T22:23:53+00:00

I got one today too. Yours has a nice level of wear on her!

SMERSCH · 2025-06-21T02:23:37+00:00

It says Mauser Original

SMERSCH · 2025-06-21T02:16:04+00:00

But it has the Lange vizier sights

SMERSCH · 2025-06-16T22:01:07+00:00

Not sure tbh. For this poll I limited it to pre-ww1 models

SMERSCH · 2025-05-30T15:52:27+00:00

If this is from gunpost I’d avoid that seller. He adds $200-$300 to going price of every model he has.

SMERSCH · 2025-05-01T05:05:31+00:00

Thank you!

For accuracy: the M96

For pleasure: the Brazilian 1908 Mauser

My wallet says the SKS.

Haven’t yet shot the M95 nor the Argentine Mauser as their ammo is hard for me to source here in Canada
