Grenade launchers and sights. Two types: 1) A spigot-type, hollow-charge rifle grenade, the Schuss G.P. 40. This grenade launcher was fitted to the bayonet lug and the grenade slipped over the cylindrical part of the launcher. 2) The high-explosive rifle grenade (G. Sprgr.) and the armor-piercing rifle grenade (G. Pzgr.). These two grenades are inserted with a twisting motion into the cup section of the launcher.

That is what it is a Grenade Launcher for a 98k... I have never seen one of the first type which attached to the bayonet lug and a bbl. clamp...BILL

Yours looks very good. What is the best way to keep mine in a better shape ?
Paint it or how to get the rust away ?

Soak it for a week in Navy Jelly, or any other chemical rust remover,,Then clean with hot water and bicarbinate of soda (baking soda)...BILL
