Hi guys!!! New guy here....the Mauser forum caught my eye and decided to join up!!!

Anyway, I thought I would add...The markings are an almost dead giveaway that this is a Mauser K98K that has been sporterized. The marking on the bolt release, the little eagle over a 63 is a Waffenamt, basicly a QA stamp. The "67" should be the last two digits of the rifles serial number if the rifle is all original

These stamps were used during WWII. The 63 denotes that part was inspected, depending on the year the rifle was made, at either the Mauser plant in Oberndorf am Neckar if the rifle was manufactured between 1935-1939. Or at Waffenwerke Bruenn, BRNO, Czechoslavkia if the rifle was manufactured between 1943-1944.

Look at the top of the reciever. Their should be a manufacturers code with a date stamped underneath it.

Mauser= S/42G 1935, S/42 1936, S/42 1937, S/42 1938, 42 1939

Waffenwerke Bruenn, Czechoslovakia= DOT 1943, DOT 1944
