Description

In very decent combat salty condition and all matching, we have a top example of an early war production Mauser Oberndorf made 1939 dated  K98k German Luftwaffe Service Rifle.  This rifle is completely factory original except for an un-numbered front screw.  The bore is excellent and the tiger striped walnut stock is quite beautiful; the side cartouches are all very clear as well.  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.

What makes this less than mint but still attractive rifle so cutlery fascinating is that it is a real-been-there-done-that Rifle; it has that used but not abused look and the best thing is that it has 7 kill marks!!!  We believe that this rifle was vet brought back from Italy at the end of the war, but that is all we know.  This rifle will speak to a lot of our clients and we are happy to offer it.
