SOLD TUE AUG 20, VERY CHOICE, GERMAN WWII 1940 42 CODE MAUSER K98k RIFLE, ALL MATCHING DOWN TO THE ROD! WITH SLING & MUZZLE COVER, MINT SHARP!

In excellent condition, completely matching and un-messed with, we have a top example of a 1940 dated , 42 coded Mauser Oberndorf made K98k Service Rifle.  This rifle is completely factory original and is all matching down to the cleaning rod!    The bore is mint and the stock cartouches are all very crisp.   

This is a top example of a Mauser made early wartime production 98k with all the early features such as no sight hood and the flat butt plate and milled bands.  This is the poster boy of a 98k rifle in the classic configuration. Early dated 98k rifles in this pristine condition are rarer than double matched mag Lugers.  One of the iconic small arms of WWII and perhaps the most fiendishly collected, nice early war examples of the K98k rifle are very difficult for us to source because they are all tied up in collections.  This is a prime example that is a real eye popper with a truly beautiful stock!
