The training rifle in question is an ERMA WERKE conversion unit for the 98 Mauser. It is very rare. The kit came with a floorplate, bolt, barrel liner, magazine and replacement rear sight. They were used to train troops with 22 rim fire ammunition, saving the 8 mm for later training and the war effort. Information can be gotten from the German Gun Collectors Association.
