Hi guys, hope you can help with seeing what mauser I picked up as im clueless haha, it's a model 98 at least in .243 with a Parker hale trigger. Looks like where it would usually say mod 98 on the side of the reciever it's written in fraktur. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

This rifle is built on a military surplus action. We need a better picture of the front left side of the action, in order to determine whether it has a small or large receiver ring. The modification to the bolt knob may or may not assist with identification.
 
That scratched on serial number is very reminiscent of the butchery done by the police department here in south Australia in their belief that it won’t damage the value of the firearm

Is the stamped text in fraktur alphabet? I can't make out any letters that coincide with anything I'm seeing online for fraktur letters.
 
The pics answer the question ;)
Parker-Hall, England.
Typically assembled on a Zastava Yugoslavian Mauser action.

Good Morning x84958
I have read your post about Jamy Traut and your hunt in Caprivi. I am planning such a hunt for 2026, Oct with Jamy.
Just a question , because I will combine Caprivi and Panorama for PG, is the daily rate the same the week long, I mean the one for Caprivi or when in Panorama it will be a PG rate ?
thank you and congrats for your story.
Best regards
Philippe from France

Hello Doug,
I am Philippe from France and plan to go hunting Caprivi in 2026, Oct.
I have read on AH you had some time in Vic Falls after hunting. May I ask you with whom you have planned / organized the Chobe NP tour and the different visits. (with my GF we will have 4 days and 3 nights there)
Thank in advance, I will appreciate your response.
Merci
Philippe
