Hi everyone, My name is Mike, I recently started going though my girlfriend's Mother's rifle collection and I found these two rifles.



Now if I'm not wrong these are German WW2 Rifle they have, one even has the German Eagle over a swastika on it all over it. (Bolt, stock, Barrel) and allot of factory markings.

Can some one help me ID these rifles, please let me know I have other pictures of the rifles on Photebucket, here's the link......... hope it works,

Thanks
Mike
