This is a Turkish converted Gewehr 88/05/35 bolt-action rifle chambered in 8mm Mauser (8×57). These rifles originated as German Gewehr 1888 Commission Rifles and were later updated and reworked by Turkey, including conversion to use Mauser-type stripper clips. The rifle features a 29¾ inch barrel, traditional wood military stock, and bolt-action operation. Turkish markings are visible on the receiver ring along with a crescent and star emblem.
