I have to agree with you Joe, that is a very nice G98. Looks like a 1915 Obendorf.

Remember it well. A very appealing rifle that, especially with the history attached. Unfortunately Dromia put it straight into safe when he got home otherwise I'd have been tempted to try and shanghai it.

I wasn't silly enough to put the Radway Green through it, was I ? :shock:

Nah, gentleman though he is I'm sure the owner would have said something (right after clubbing me with the nearest available heavy object).
The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who don't have it.
