Danzig Gew. 98 'Double Date' 8mm #1421b
This is a German WW1 infantry rifle that has been sporterized. Chamber dated 1917 with the 1920 date above. The 1920 is the mark that indicates this is one of the rifles "officially" taken over by the Reichswehr. The barrel, receiver and bolt have matching serial numbers, triggerguard and floorplate are mismatched. The stock has been sanded, forearm shortened, handguards removed and rubber recoil pad installed. Action works well, blue is about 75% with handling wear on the bottom metal, receiver and bolt knob, wood is sound and the bore is good, strong rifling, lightly frosted.
