That is curious Vilm,
as nearly all of the thousands of K98 rifles imported to the US from the "East" had their swastika peened.
Maybe it was the Ukraine or other former USSR republic?

Only in some cases East German district markings were peened out after import in the US in the late 1970s. Later imports usually have the East German markings intact.
