That's the latest date I have seen. I just shot mine yesterday. It's pretty accurate. Any Idea what a star mark means? I think mines a 1938 now I have to look. I shoot full bore Turk surplus out of it. My bolt is cz made for Turkey too. I really like this rifle. I want to figure out how to put some glass on it.

I believe the star mark is Turkish like the crescent moon the star mark is on the receiver of another Turked 88 I have from 1935 I believe, usually don't see that date a lot either. I have seen 1940 dated before but not 1941

Picked up this rifle for my son's high school graduation. Someone shortened it but did a very nice job. Pretty cool rifle for a teenager who's really into pre WW1 German stuff!

@ SEABEE general consensus is your son's rifle was shortened by Turkey. Your son is pretty cool to be interested in WW1 & so is Dad for buying such a great gift. Kudos

Wow! Very nice comments. I'm new here and think I'm gonna like it! Thank You!

Very nice old rifle and very nice of you for getting it for him. I myself have an 1890 Danzig unaltered

[SEABEE]

Hard to tell from picture, is she in pretty good shape?

[orbill]

Yes very good shape and I have shot it. As soon as it warms up I will do a range test.

My only Gew91 sadly the stacking hook is gone & sling stock filled in plus bolt was worked on

[orbill]

Still a good looking gun

[SEABEE]

That's a pretty cool rifle! Love that bolt handle!
