I think the film was reversed. I've never seen a left handed model 98 bolt.Watching the PBS show "War" I saw at least 3 K98's that had the bolt handle on the left side of the rifle. Is there such a thing or was the film reversed?
Sometimes you will also see on other programs, Wehrmacht Soldiers with the Breast Eagle on the wrong side as well as SS with the eagle patch on the arm also on the wrong side. Also in magazines-Guns and Ammo in the Surplus Issues that come out on that cheap black and white newsprint from about 10 years ago. The negative or film was reversed.Watching the PBS show "War" I saw at least 3 K98's that had the bolt handle on the left side of the rifle. Is there such a thing or was the film reversed?
Lots of left handed people in Renaissance paintings too. Many people think the "master" painters (Rembrandt, Ingres, Titian, etc) were using light projectors to at least trace the outlines of the models they were painting.I saw one of the lefties on the film tonight; it was close-up of a sniper with optics.
