strange k98 bolt

[Chris D.]

G33/40

the g33/40 bolt actually has a hollow bolt handle, not the checkered one as pictured.

I agree this is a WWI kar98a bolt.

as others have stated, kar98a bolts have a different profile, i examined a DWM brazilian contract rifle today that has the profile of the questioned bolt and it had the radius where the handle meets the ball. i agree that it is an export model bolt.

Obviously you do not own a legit WW1 Kar98a.
