WW2 German 98K Infantry rifle made in 1936 by the Mauser Werke
Description: Sold to Denis in the great state of Texas. // Receiver is dated 1936 and carries the BYF code for Mauser. The action locks up nicely and is still very crisp. The bore is incredible. It still shines. The metal is all matching except for the front barrel band. That includes the butt plate and all the small parts. The rifle has its original blue too. The lettering and inspection stamps are crisp suggesting that it was never re-blued. The stock is period correct for the style of 98K but it was switched out most likely by a unit armorer in the field. All the proof marks and inspection stamps, eagles etc are all there. On the underside of the pistol grip is small mark of battlefield damage. It looks like a grenade fragment or some sort of small shrapnel created a small gouge in the stock. I can only wonder how a 98K came through the war in such great condition. I am thinking it must have been a battlefield pick up from some type of signal unit or other support unit. It clearly did not see years of action on the eastern front. It is not very often we see pre- war 98Ks come along this clean and with 98% matching metal. Must ship to an FFL. Cards add 3%. Shipping is included in the price. If you have any questions, please let me know. Strength and Honor! SOLD |
