I need some info. I have been following an auction on a Mauser 98 in .250-3000 Savage. It is reputed to have been a custom gun done by Bliss Titus. The barrel is marked "B. E. Titus .250 Savage".

I have read some about Mr. Titus here and other places. I know he was both a barrel maker and a gunsmith.

Were his barrels marked one way and his custom guns another? In other words, would this Mauser 98 actually just have a Titus barrel and not actually be a custom rifle produced by Bliss Titus?

I have read he was well known for his work on Savage 99s but did he also work with Mauser 98s?

Thanks for the help.
