Hey Guys,

Yep, Turkish mauser M1888 (GEW88).
Good info here. Might be a bit of a lemon tho.

A bit over priced. That mount looks a bit agricultural/military K98 on that age of rifle. You would need to check it was centered over the bore too, plenty out there have been put on incorrectly. Would of suited a claw mount more. But if you like it then go for it.
