SOLD GERMAN ARMY WW1/WIEMAR/WW2 …… ERFURT 1918/1920 KAR 98az MAUSER CARBINE……ALL MATCHING…NICE!

IN EXCELLENT ALL MATCHING CONDITION  WE HAVE AN ATTRACTIVE  EXAMPLE OF A GERMAN WW1 KAR98az CARBINE THAT HAD A LONG SERVICE LIFE .  IT WAS PRODUCED BY THE ERFURT ARSENAL IN 1918 AND IS DOUBLE DATED 1920 FOR THE REICHSWEHR ERA ARMY INDICATING POST WW1 REISSUE.  LIKE MOST OF THESE CARBINES IT WAS OVERHAULED.  THE BORE IS STRONG BUT DARK.  THESE CARBINES WERE WIDELY ISSUED TO THE GERMAN POLICE FORCES AND THE ARMY AFTER WW1 AND STAYED IN SERVICE WITH THEM UNTIL THE END OF WW2.  THIS EXAMPLE LIKELY STAYED IN ARMY SERVICE. DURING THE INVASION OF FRANCE IN 1940 THESE RIFLES WERE STILL PREVALENT IN THE ARTILLERY.
