Oops, I just realized I should have posted here. Well, here's my original post: Hey everybody, I have a Mauser K98 from 1934. I have been trying to identify it for the past year or so, and I've scoured Google with no luck at all. Creative Labs Ct4750 Driver For Windows 7. Well, actually I know it was made in Oberndorff or whatever it was, but that's all I can tell. Here is the problem - all of the pictures and references I have found say there should be a 3 letter code (which tells the manufacturer) and two or three numbers, which identifies the year. There is a banner Mauser logo on the top that says 1934, and it does not have the 3 letter 2 number code.

So, according to all of the databases, it should be a non-military one. BUT, it has the eagle/swastika stamped on the side, as well as what I have found to be inspection approval marks on the stock and side of the barrel. There are also a lot of weird crown-type symbols stamped on the side.

So what do you think this is? It doesn't match the standard military specifications for a K98, but I'm almost postitive it is. Could it be some prototype, or a rifle issued to different forces than the Wermacht or something? Any info at all that anyone could provide would be greatly greatly appreciated.

Depending upon it's serial number, your '42' code Mauser was made by Mauser AG, Oberndorf, Germany between 1938 & 1940. If you find your Mauser code here it's the first way to identify your Mauser factory or where it was tested. It should give you approximately year of production or other basic info. Most founded code is four digit serial number like (2938), sometimes with letters (2938S). To quick find code you looking for just use search function. Thanks to reader Jacob, we have some fantastic photos of a Mauser M1915 Flieger-Karabiner. This was an early (although not the earliest) Mauser self-loading rifle. Does anyone know of a web site or forum we a person can look up, by serial number, history on a Model 98 Mauser? Thanks folks. COTEP CBOB0273 'Where is Reagan when we need him?'
