Here's a 98, one of 4 my Father sent home from WWII. He gave 3 away to friends and kept one and had it sporterized. It is still chambered in 8x57, the original barrel was turned down to remove the steps and taper it. It has a different bolt knob, Buelher safety, Timney trigger, and is bedded in a Fajen stock. It still shoots great. He also picked up a nice Luger.
He didn't talk much about the war, but one thing he did tell me was about the piles of guns in the streets at the end of the war. They picked through them and got what they wanted and then the rest were destroyed.
I also have a Drilling that my Uncle sent home.
