but it is true.
A few years ago there was a "scandal" in Germany because of these K98k.
Some of them had still WW2 proof markings. After an idiot of the Wachbataillon told this to somebody of the press, you could read in German headlines that NAZI SYMBOLS are still used in the German Army.
After this big "scandal" they removed all rifles with old proof markings from the current service in the Wachbataillon. Now the Bundeswehr is political correct....
