2015年12月18日 · Yes Chris, you could probably say these Mauser rifles were the "testing-ground" which fine-tuned the development of the eventual prime German arm, the Gew98 rifle. Other GW use of similar type rifles could also include the M1895 style Serbian M1899. We had a recent thread discussing the M1895 bayonets which fitted these rifles. Cheers, S>S

2020年8月24日 · Now, with the photo’s for all to see, we have 3. Maybe 4 Very rare conversions in a group for the Gew98 Rifle! Werder S69/98 Yatagan S71/98 ( standard 71 blade) thanks Bickus61 Werder S69mS/98 pioneer Maybe, one day a S/71mS/98 will turn up with markings, or remains will be found to prove the Mauser side too

2015年11月15日 · The Waffenfabrik Mauser production rifles of 1917 were the standard Gew98 that were supplied to the Turks during the war, together with the matching stamped S98/05 bayonets. From what I understand these Gew98 rifles were not stamped with any Ottoman identifiers, unlike the common Turkish Gew88 which I believe were marked in the German factory.

2008年6月8日 · The turks were supplied oodles of gew98's during the great war from 1916 through 1918 primarily by and from Mauser Oberndorf gew98 production. The germans surrendered huge amounts of gew88 and 98's as reparations to the allies and huge amounts of same rifles for destruction under the versailles treaty.

2011年6月7日 · In collectors circles gew98's , gew88's and kar98a's with turkish provenance are usually annotated as "turked with". Usually it's descriptive of the condition the turks left them in. Often the turkes refinished them with no care to keep them matching , and they generally look rode hard and put up wet.

2012年10月18日 · Gew98: Thanks so much for the info--greatly appreciated. The serial on the stock matches the receiver and barrel (2726), with the buttplate having a differing, struck-through number. So I think this is the original stock, with the buttplate being …

2019年3月17日 · So this followed me home today. A 1915 DWM Gew 98 with GG Haenel Suhl M1898 bayonet. Bayonet and scabbard are unit marked, however they are two different units. ID help on these unit markings would be much appreciated. Rifle is all matching save for the bolt, which matches itself. Bolt handle is ...

2014年9月9日 · The production of gew98's began in late 1915 at erfurt. From 1915 until 1917 Erfurt predominantly manufactured in regards to gew98's receivers and spares. The scheme the germans used of supplying parts to artillery depots where many rifles were assembeled from new and salvaged parts to include receivers was widespread.

2018年9月10日 · Having been after one for a long while, I recently added a nice deactivated 1917 Gew98 to my collection, with a view to ultimately putting together basic German WW1 kit over time: I was curious about a few things. Is there an equivalent of say the Skennerton manuals, an English language basic guide to the history and stripping, drill, etc?

2007年1月5日 · Alot of barracks were being constructed and similar structures by US service troops and many gew98 and kar98a rifles had their stocks cut in miter boxes so as to make the overall length more accomodating to being packed in an overseas bag or similar clothing bag. I own a couple "duff cut" gew98 rifles and I have repaired them all.
