    postwar used k98?

    I have recently picked up this k98 with the purpose of reenactment, however when I inspected it more closely at home I noticed that it is numbermatching except for the bolt. I didn't expect this since I bought it relatively cheap (and since it's for re-enactment, I don't care anyway).
    An explanation for this is that it has been re-used postwar, I have found some stamps that might indicate it, including a stamp that seems to indicate that it has been re-chambered, but I don't see anything unusual inside and it accepts my blanks without problem. I'd like to hear your opinion gentlemen.

    It is a normal K98, perhaps form the portugese contract. The new stamps are only new "Beschußzeichen". That means that the rifle is ok and there is no danger for the shootist.
    In germany it is not allowed to sell a weapon without these stamps. This does not mean that the rifle is used in a postwar-germany organisation. In this case other acceptance-stamp would be found on the K98.

        Vedran, the bolt looks identical to that of my other K98 and apart from waffenamts and serial numbers it doesn't have any other stamps.

          Looks like a nice K98 rifle, intended for export.
          Maybe for Portugal or Spain, I'm not sure.

              Seems to me like a german post war commercialized one by the Nemrod Frankonia firm, according to the mark just before the '8x57IS' designation...
