Peeking inside Mauser's facilities

The first pic is awsome. The PTO pulleys and belts are cool history. I understand some of our civil war factories ran on engines that would be the power equivelent of a modern lawnmower.
In the second pic the bolt handle is straight so I suspect it is WW1. The third pic is great also. The stocks are a light color and the bayonet mounts do not seem to be blued. I would love to pick one off the rack behind him. A prewar k98 is the supreme rifle with a little fixing to the sight picture. IMO
