Description:
Portuguese contract Mauser K98k Rifle (Portuguese Model 1941 Short Rifle) manufactured in 1941 with matching bayonet. This rifle is in near new condition with many traces of what appears to be the original cosmoline. The stock has some storage and handling compression marks. These late Portuguese Mausers are nearly identical to Wehrmacht K98k rifles but feature solid walnut stocks and a commercial quality blue finish. Receiver roll-stamped with the Portuguese crest and the date "1941". Portuguese crest is weakly stamped and only faintly visible on left side of butt stock. Cupped buttplate marked brg with proof mark WaA 497 (H. W. Schmidt contractor) and cross. The left side of the receiver is stamped with the commercial legend "MAUSER-WERKE AG OBERNDORF A.N." The serial number H2403 is stamped on the left side of the receiver ring. 2403/H is stamped on the stock below the pistol grip. The top of the bolt handle is stamped 2403H. All major components including the trigger guard, floor plate, upper and lower barrel band, rear sight, bolt sleeve, cocking piece and safety are stamped 2403. Smaller components are stamped with the partial serial number 23. Eagle/Swastika proofs are stamped on the left side of the barrel behind the rear sight base and in front of the serial number on the left side of the receiver. Eagle/WaA 135 Mauser Waffenamt code is stamped on the top of the barrel and top of the side of the stock below the serial number and on the left side of the stock below the bolt disk. A third smaller "Eagle/WaA135" inspection mark is stamped behind the trigger guard (this one is lightly stamped and difficult to read). The bayonet hilt is stamped with the serial number "H2403". Bayonet scabbard frog stud DOES NOT MATCH and is stamped G76. All of the visible serial numbers on the rifle match. The bayonet pommel is stamped with two stick eagle Waffenamts and a third inspection mark is stamped on the release button (WaA 883). A similar Waffenamt is stamped on the bayonet scabbard tip. The bayonet has a full blue finish with two-piece walnut grips and a blue scabbard.
