That Crown N is a so called Beschusszeichen. It is an East German proofmark from Suhl used in the time from 1951 to 1974 . It means that the rifle was tested to be safe with smokless powder. N is standing for Nitropulver what means smokeless powder. I apologize for my poor english.

So interesting, I learn so much from your channel. I’ve not seen an East German k98k. Only East German gun I’ve seen in person is a sks

@Milsurp World - I have a DOU.45. K98k that’s an East German rebarrel and force match! Even still has the original Waffen “135” marks. Most interesting part is that it bears the Iraqi army “Jeem” marks too! So it’s been all over, eventually imported by Federal Ordinance back in the day… apparently not an uncommon route these East German guns went through!

The only way to possibly enhance such an interesting video is to add doggo. Adding doggo is 100% guaranteed to enhance any video to perfection.

About the Eagle, since thousands years it's an German symbol so that's why the soldier respected it probally

The Mauser rifles that were reworked by Norway also must have had a 'N" with crown on it (Kingdom of Norway). I don't see the Communists in the GDR putting a crown on anything....

1. white out works real good bring out the markings. 2. BYF is the mid WAR code , SVW is the late war starting in Jan 45. The N Proof is a commercial proof for a post war replacement barrel. It’s missing a sunburst marking for an East German rework ?.

I have a Russian capture, "243/1940" Mauser made K98. "X" receiver stamped (as a Russian capture) with an "M" stamped below the X / crossed rifles stamp; re-blued and red-shellac'd stock. Bolt, safety, and a couple of other parts electro-pencil marked with the original 3 digit serial number (as per usual Russian refurbishment process to ensure parts are put back together properly). But it is mostly matching, and no peened (struck out) markings at all. All markings are very sharp. Oddly, there is a roll-marked marking on the barrel just in front of the receiver of "29" in large characters, then "39" in smaller characters, then "E" in large size lettering again. So "29 39 E", with the 39 in smaller size letters in the middle. Font style appears to be close to "Unica", or "Six Caps" font style. Unsure if this was a unit marking, but from which country I do not know, and no one has been able to say (German, Russian issue, E. German, etc). If anyone reads this, any help would be appreciated ! This is what the marking looks like: kzbin.info/www/bejne/opS3oHevhtqhnK8 P.S. Not trying to hi-jack this video... Thank you.

Anybody that buys those old relics and pays from $400-$700 for them with cracked stocks and old surplus parts, rusty and maybe unsafe to fire has to be nuts, for that price they can buy NEW modern proven rifles probably chambered for a modern caliber and with a full warranty, they are taking a chance that those obsolete rifles will blow-up on firring...

You lose the history that way. When you fire your rifle, some unknown German held and fired it the same way, maybe in battle?
