DWM 1916 Gewehr 98 100% Original and All Matching!
SOLD
Description: It has been a long time since we have had an all matching, unaltered, straight-out-of-the-attic WW1 Gew 98! This 1916 DWM Gew 98 serial number 3941, is all matching from the bolt, all stock pieces and hardware, both barrel bands, screws, sights, all the way to the cleaning rod. It is just the way it left the factory in 1916. Everything that should be numbered is numbered and they all match. It was bought from the family who's WW1 veteran Grandfather brought it back after being discharged from service. He was a veteran of several battles including the Battle of Belleau Wood. We do not have any other information regarding its capture. Unfortunately, someone along the way since it arrived in the States quit taking care of it and it was poorly stored, causing the exposed areas to rust. You can see in the pictures that the barrel still has a lot of factory blue finish, but the receiver and other parts that were once bright metal in the white are oxidized and darkened in areas from rust. Amazingly, the bore which looked bad when we acquired it, was actually full of grease and is near mint!!! The bore is super bright and the rifling is sharp and crisp. The stock retains all the cartouches and has never been sanded or messed with. This Gew 98 is 100% functional and with such a great bore it would be a great shooting rifle. Unaltered Gew 98s are very hard to find these days and this example could be improved with some TLC and careful cleaning. All we have done to it is clean the bore and scrub some of the active rust off with gun oil and a bronze toothbrush. Priced to sell! SOLD Curio/Relic: Yes Manufacturer: DWM Model: Gewehr 98 Serial Number: 3941 Caliber Info: 8mm Mauser Bore: Excellent |
