<p>[QUOTE="Rayo56, post: 367919, member: 2022"]Pulled out the Model 98 Mauser today for some oiling - serial # 3287? - took pics so if anybody has info it would be fantastically appreciated! The only thing I know is that My Father used this gun to deer hunt (I'm with you, I can't imagine shooting a deer - I think that's horrible?) but when he met my Mom she stopped that - LOL!! So anyhow, he was in WWII and I was wondering if this was an actuall German Mauser used in the war or just a crate gun surpluss! It doesn't have the bayonet or sling - and the wood is in really good shape so I'm guessing NOT war related but still, if somebody wanted to go deer hunting, why would they pick this rifle? Oh, well, that's why I'm asking.is it a trademark???? Or just pitting?</p><p><br /></p><p>Here's pics and the last pic[ATTACH=full]126094[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]126095[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]126096[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]126097[/ATTACH] is a trademark????
