Description:
THIRD REICH Proofed WORLD WAR 2 German J.P. SAUER & SOHN “147/1938” K98 C&R

GERMAN MILITARY Mauser Pattern INFANTRY Rifle

Here we present a C&R World War II Third Reich German J. P. Sauer & Son “147/1938” Code K98 Mauser Rifle manufactured in 1938. In 1898 the German Army purchased a Mauser design, the Model 98, which incorporated improvements introduced in earlier models. The weapon was originally chambered for the Patrone 88 and officially entered German service as the Gew. 98 on April 5, 1898. This remains by far the most successful of the Mauser designs, helped by the onset of two world wars that demanded vast numbers of rifles.

It was in late 1941 that the Sauer production code changed from “147” to a script “ce”. Cupped buttplates were introduced to help prevent the de-lamination of rifle buttstocks. Sauer began to use “bys” and “dfb” barrels and magazine followers which have a waffenamt “214” proof. Waffenamt inspection numbers continued to be used on most parts. All metal parts continued to be milled and numbered to match the rifle. The known serial number range is from 1005 to 613v for an estimated production run of 225,000 rifles. For the first time Sauer produced rifles for the Luftwaffe with these rifles having a Luftamt on the barrel.

Manufactured just prior to the start of World War II, this Mauser K98 bears the “147/1938” code on the receiver ring, along with numerous Third Reich inspection marks, including the “eagle/swastika/359” and droop wing “eagle/214” proofed receiver ring.
