Re: Can you identify a Mauser 98 marking?

Quote:

This rifle was proofed 1144 = November 1944 by the Zella – Mehlis proofhouse, “spruce in heart” mark.
A Reinhold Recknagel is mentioned from 1925 to WW2 as a gunsmith at Damaschkeweg 1, Zella – Mehlis.
He was just one of the baker’s dozen Recknagels working in the Suhl and Zella – Mehlis guntrade during the interwar years.




Thank you kuduae exactly what I wanted to know. Interesting that sporter rifles were still being made that late in the war years.
