[QUOTE="AKguy1985, post: 987011, member: 824"] alright cool, it really just comes down to if its sporterized or not that lowers it s collectability, some people dont like the turkish conversions. The turks never threw anything away and in 1938 they changed the Gew 88 to take the mauser stripper clips instead of the mannlicher clip system. I'll try and find some pics of the differences between the 88/05 and the 88/05/38 the first pic is of a supposedly original 1888 without the 05 modification [attach=full]72667[/attach] next is one with the 05 conversion to take the .323 dia 8mm round, that is noted by the S on the reciever [attach=full]72668[/attach] [attach=full]72669[/attach] turkish markings indicated it was given to the turks [attach=full]72670[/attach] the 38 conversion the turks put a mauser barrel and stock on them and added a sheet metal floorplate to the bottom of the magazine, cant seem to find a pic [/QUOTE]
