Whats going on ladies/gents? So I have a Historical firearm that I would like some "expert" opinion on. I'd like someone to tell me their opinions on the condition of the firearm, its worth, if its real, etc etc. I bought it from a dealer up in Main and from those that i showed some crappy phone pictures, said it was a great buy. Id love to hear your opinions.
Any help valid information would be nice :) all parts are matching although the few questions i have are; What is the f under the serial on the side of the rifle? Ive looked for all the markings but im not sure what the 135 w/ the nazi eagle is, would anyone know? Also there are initials on the bolt handle of B.F.L, would these be of a soldier? The serial 43R129, would that be MADE 43; Right handed; 129 not sure what it would be |

In 1942 the waffenamt "135” proof appears on the "byf” 98k rifles. Mauser Oberndorf would use this waffenamt until production ceased in 1945. It appears on the receiver ring for the first time as a final assembly proof over the manufacturer’s code. A solid "speed milled” front band (without the "H” style cutouts) appears creating the variation known as the intermediate or mid-war style. All small parts were still numbered. The known serial number range is from 209 to 459nn with an estimated production run of 410,000 rifles. A waffenamt over "WaA135” was substituted for the branch of service stamp on the Butt stock. Beginning within the "aa” block serial number range the underside of the rear sight leaf was left without range marks in an attempt to speed |
