    With the help and comments of other forum members, it could be said that before beeing deactivated, this rifle has been rechambered (french hunting caliber? After the war?) by shortening the barrel - and turning (about 1/2 turn) the base of the barrel, that would mean that the location of the marks, if authentic, has changed. The serial number could have been above the woodline (in line with the one on the left of the receiver). This "SS" stamp would also have moved, and was then before just above the woodline on the right, close to the receiver - and visible! That would be more plausible than an SS stamp completely concealed on the bottom of the barrel.
    What do you think of this?

      Hello, the barell dont looks like shortened on backside? maybe on front, were the back sights moved? anyway the SS stamps looks strange and when "real" it was added post using by Wehrmacht, the parts were reblued probably by made a deko.Only good complete pictures of dissasembled gun would help, all markings etc.

        Interesting comment about "when real" but agree about need for complete pics

          I think by "real", you mean "genuine" or "authentic"?

          The rifle doesn't seem to have been used by the Wehrmacht at all (no Waa acceptance stamps for exemple) but to have been directly reissued (to the SS-TV?) after its first use within the Reiter-Regiment 9 after WWI.

          Which pictures would you need exactly? Some close-ups maybe?

            Yes, I believe "real" was used to indicate period original or authentic. That is why I considered the original comment, which suggested that SS markings when "real" were added post use by the Wehrmacht to be interesting. I would be curious to hear more information about that claim. <O</O

              Based on the pics already posted of the subject rifle – I cannot agree with your comments.

                I am personally not a expert on SS marked rifles as other members here, mainly as SSZZA2,i fully respect his opinions, i only provided info that i found on forums and on book mentioned already, anyway the 98b configuration rifle were used in Wehrmacht thats confirmed information same as there is a Su58 stamp and other as unit stamp, the SS-TV stamp when real is a late 30ies stamp, and the rifles used or reworked by SS are different stamped. It would be nice to see more details, or owner should post it on K98k forum. I personally dont like the runes on the stamp. The bolt is certainly of Wehrmacht acceptance and is not numbered to the rifle.
