Hey, so i love the inclusion of this gun despite it not being the most common in ww2 (though with it being a rare gold order weapon that is a fair tradeoff) however I should inform that the skin has been done incorrectly. The Gewehr 88 in game suffers the same skin issue that almost every game with it gets wrong, the weapon in game is clearly blued. Games often do this as they are mostly modeled on Turkish Gewehr 88’s that are quite plentiful and easy to find however the Turkish Army refurbished every Gewehr 88 they had in the 30s and part of the process was blueing the entire thing. Gewehr 88’s that remained in the German army were not blued, the barrel shroud was blued/blackened so it had a proper black appearance however the receiver and bolt was never blued, the receiver and bolt of the gewehr 88 was left “in the white”. I have attached a couple reference photos of a Gewehr 88 in my collection that was never in Turkish service, its entire life was in the German Army, i can take further reference photos if curious. Thank you for reading!
