| Do the k98s I see advertised that say nazi proof marks have the eagle on top of the cross or can that mean other stamps? |
| Death Heads were SS builds. More than they are worth, UNLESS you are into collecting SS k98s. Peened waffenamps are Russian capture. There are alot of "RC" 98's that do not have the peened out waffenamps. If it has what LOOKS like an X on it, its an RC. The X is not an X at all. Its crossed rifles. If you go online and get the LAW book Backbone of the Wehrmacht, it has alot of good info.......... |

Today if somebody is advertising SS runes or such I'd be more than a little suspicious. Were'nt that many made and there of plenty of individuals that would forge the markings to make a buck. All of the K98's that have come on the market the last few years are the Russian captures. A lot of them are in really good shape, typcially reblueed and electropencilled to match, but still a K98. The ruskies had many a different way to mark these new rifles some got an x on the reciever and all the nazi or standard markings scrubbed or peened, some got nothing new or marked out. |
Sounds like Mitchell's Mausers  I remember talking to a gal that worked there last year and they were selling a batch of the SS K98's. They were supposedly the real deal and in a collector's case. I believe they wanted almost $5,000 for one. ROFL
