Post-World War I GEHA M98 German Shotgun Converted from GEW 98 MAUSER C&R
Converted circa 1919-1929
Here we present a C&R Geha Model 98 German Shotgun which has been converted from a GEW 98 Mauser Rifle circa 1919-1929. GEHA shotguns were converted from GEW 98 Mauser rifles after World War I somewhere around 1919-1929, or maybe even a little later. These were made from surplus Mausers in an attempt to "jump-start" the German firearms industry under the Versailles military arms restrictions.
In the process of converting these guns, a lot of metal and wood was removed in the modification to a shotgun. Geha shotguns were made in 12, 16 & 20 gauge. In the conversion process the forward locking area of the receiver was removed in order to allow fitting a 12 gauge barrel, leaving the third "safety" lug as the primary locking lug, along with the portion of the bolt handle that fits into the receiver. Guns converted to 16 and 20 gauge had portions of the forward locking lugs remaining (more on the 20 than the 16 gauge) so the actions on these guns are stronger yet than the 12 gauge.
The Gewehr 98 is a German bolt action rifle that fired cartridges from a 5-round internal clip-loaded magazine originally loaded with the 7.92×57mm Mauser cartridge. This rifle was manufactured from 1898 through 1918. It was the German service rifle from 1898 to 1935. The Gewehr 98 replaced the earlier Gewehr 1888 as the main German service rifle.
The overall condition is good. Strong action. The bore is bright and smooth. Solid stock. “Germany” is marked on the left side of barrel. A medallion adorns each side of the buttstock and seemly reads, “GEHA”. Markings are legible. This example is refinished.
