Here are pics of my newest purchase. And yes, it's a firing ring rifle and not a dewat:
Here is the info:
GERMAN Model 98k (reconfigured in June 1939 from scrubbed WWI Gewehr 98) bolt-action 8mm rifle # 7693 having SS DEATH-HEAD marking (seagull above) on left barrel-shank and commercial proofs on left side of the receiver. A rearsenaled Russian-capture in excellent condition with electropenciled parts and a laminated stock with cupped buttplate. Bore is excellent and mirror-bright.
