Kar98 with bnz 98 bolt ???

[Don Vito]

Hi All I picked up my first Mauser a 1915 Erfurt Kar98 come to find out it has a bnz K98 bolt. Im looking for a correct kar bolt for it and also the rifle has a small mark after the Kar98, what does it mean? Also im told the bnz bolt is quite desirable
what might it be worth? here are some pics. What might it be worth with the correct bolt oh it has a great bore.

That is a Karabiner 98a. I think you will be hard pressed to find a correct bolt for that. They had their own unique bolt and they are not easy to find.

The double date means that it is a Weimar Republic refurb.

The mark might be an "a" for Kar 98a.
