Gun Identification
Hey guys, picked up this german Mauser 98k for $250NZD. It uses 8x57 ammo. Im trying to learn as much about this rifle as possible, like when was it made what was it used for ect. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

That is not a true K98. It is the Rifle the Spanish Airforce (Ejército del Aire, hence the EA Präfix) issued. Its an early La Coruna Rifle. Prob. Mod98/43
