I think I picked up a pretty special rifle. It's an all matching German K98 Mauser. It's crazy how many marks and stamps the Germans put on their rifles. I think it is a true war trophy vet bring back complete with a discreetly hidden duffle cut stock. I believe it was originally issued to the Luftwaffe. Isn't that what the "L" stamp on the stock indicates?

Yes, the L is for Luftwaffe. H would be for Heer.
Would be cool to see pics of the stamps, particularly bolt and receiver.
Looks like the stock has red shellac on it, which is odd.

I think it's the red glue they used on the laminate stocks. Here are some of the markings.
