SOLD GERMAN WW1/ WIEMAR POLICE…… ERFURT 1916/1920 KAR 98az MAUSER CARBINE……ALL MATCHING…NICE!

IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND STRAIGHT OUT OF THE WOODWORK, WE HAVE AN ATTRACTIVE  EXAMPLE OF A GERMAN WW1 KAR98az CARBINE . THIS ONE WAS PRODUCED BY THE ERFURT ARSENAL IN 1916 AND IS DOUBLE DATED 1920 FOR THE RIECHSWEHR POST WW1 REISSUE.  LIKE MOST OF THESE CARBINES IT WAS OVERHAULED AT THE SPANDAU ARSENAL AND A STOCK DISK WAS ADDED BEARING THE E/SU4 MARKING.  THE BORE IS EXCELLENT.  THESE CARBINES WERE WIDELY ISSUED TO THE GERMAN POLICE FORCES AFTER WW1 AND STAYED IN SERVICE WITH THEM UNTIL THE END OF WW2.  THIS FINE EXAMPLE IS VERY LIKELY A POLICE ISSUED EXAMPLE AS THE 1920 DATE ON THE STOCK HAS BEEN LINED OUT WHICH WOULD INDICATE REMOVAL FROM THE ARMY AND TRANSFER TO A GERMAN POLICE AGENCY.  THIS IS A VERY CLEAN EXAMPLE OF THE GERMAN POLICE CARBINE.
