Up Next We Have an OId German Pre-WWI Gewehr 88/05 S Commission Rifle by Erfurt, Non Matching, Barrel Bands Marked with reserve regiment in the Imperial German army. The gun has definitely been arsenal re-worked, After service in Germany, it was shipped off to Turkey for more service during WWI. These rifles were originally chambered for 7.92mm Patrone 88 ammunition and had a fixed magazine. As with virtually all Gewehr 88 rifles in service, this example was converted to take the 7.92?57mm Mauser S Patrone, and has an S stamped above the chamber, indicating the conversion. The Spitzer-shaped S Cartridge was ballistically superior to the M/88, however the chamber required modification to accept the thicker walled shell casing. This particular rifle does has notched plates welded to the rear of the receiver on either side to accept the 1905 pattern stripper clips, making this a Gewehr 88/05 S. It also has the tell tale "notch" cut into the rear of the receiver, as the loaded clip would run into this area.
