Is that GEW?

 

[its_me]

It's pronounced "Jewish"... (So you don't get cancelled like Kanye)

 

[bob g]

yes, it is a GEW 88 also called a JEWARD 88

 

[Coup d'etat]

It's an 1888 "Commission Rifle".

Here is a list of the arsenals that built them:

Ludwig Loewe
Haenel
Steyr-Mannlicher
Imperial Arsenals of Amberg
Danzig
Erfurt
Spandau

Only Ludwig Loewe was owned by a Jewish family.

Called a JEWARD 88? I can't find any reference to this rifle by that name

Yeah I don't get it.....I have several Mausers made by Ludwig Loewe and they are absolutely of the highest quality and craftsmanship. I would consider them works of art.
Most of my Loewe Mausers also have a small Star of David on them as well.
