Thatīs definitely a Type C " Army " Hunting Rifle. In spite of the name for civilian purpose only.
The proof marks B and U on barrel shank , left side of the receiver and bolt handle root were strictly used for civil arms.
The Gew. 98 marking on the receiver not too surprising on that very early specimen.The lack of the firing pin safety shoulder you will only find on pre 1901 production time.
The milled flat on the receiver and boltstop certainly a later ad for use of a diopter sight , I guess.
There were models for the Wehrmann Gewehr to mount on top of the boltstop housing.
