SOLD 1938 J.P. SAUER CODE S/147 K98k MAUSER RIFLE…..COMPLETELY MATCHING….VERY SHARP….KRIEGSMARINE ISSUE…….PRIVATE RESERVE STOCK

In excellent condition, all matching down to the screws, we have a scarce and hard to find early production 1938 dated J.P. Sauer assembled K98k Service Rifle.  This rifle is Kriegsmarine Nord See Fleet “N number” marked on the stock disk.  J.P. Sauer  was at the top of a pyramid of Suhl Gunmakers who all participated in 98k production.  These gun makers provided various parts and the production of some parts and final assembly took Place at the J.P. Sauer Plant.  Among collectors Sauer Coded rifles are extremely sought after. The cartouches on the rifle are very crisp and sharp and the stock has not been messed with in any way.  The bore is excellent and the rifle is a premier example of a very desirable maker early production K98k.  Today, almost all early nice Mauser rifles such as this are tightly held in collections are rarely surface for sale and this is right out of our private reserve stock.  Navy marked rifles are extremely scarce and rarely seen.  An interesting fact is that 2 1/2 years ago we had another a block 1938 Sauer K98k, also Navy marked so they certainly procured a number of rifles in this block.
