I just got a Preduzece 44. 2 eagles and happy sign still on it. The mystery is why the crest was ground down so hard. Literally 1/4” of material taken off and no yugo stamp to replace it.
Note all the emblems that Hitler use was from Norse mythology regions. The bent cross as it was known in Norwegian and European areas or the swastika in the East. In ancient Viking regions in Norse regions times of paganism they were symbols of Thor and Odin.
BCD is the code for manufacture by the Gustoff-werke factory and the 41 indicates it was manufactured in 1941 in Nazi Germany. An early war K98 like that would have a lot of milled parts if they are original. There are several places with serial numbers on it.
I'm trying to identify a rifle that's sporticised had so much work done to it,it's insane 308 replacement barrel, any marks on top are milled off for the scope mount the only thing I have is the serial number G 539,,I was told it is the long bolt
Do you know if the bolt has been modified or is original to the rifle? Taking a look could at least narrow it down as far as if it's a particular model.
The only 98 I ever being rechambered to. 308 win/7.62x51 was the Mausers used by the Israelis. Find out which country sold them to Israel and you might find the country of origin.
On the 7.65 Argentine Mausers I have, there are not any markings saying 7.65. Generally, if it was a military conversion or it was imported after a certain date, it would have the marking added. Other than knowing the model of the rifle, it may be best to chamber cast if you are still uncertain.

Have a Mauser stamped with SN: 3883 with Swastika. It also has code: bcd and stamped with 41. Can you tell me about this rifle? Thank you.

That's still a nice rifle. 😎👍
Why caliber is missing on military Mausers? Or am I wrong and don't know where to look for?!
It will depend on the rifle, it's on some of them, but others don't necessarily list them on the rifle itself.

@@User-nx7rs it is I have an 8mm I got in a swap this hasn't been customized somebody put a bunch of work in that one
How can you identify the rifle as a 7.65 Mauser? Are there any markings on the barrel that say '7.65 Mauser'?

fascinating specimen.
Rough looking rifles that have a lot to tell.
Trying to figure out a way to message you to ask a question.
