IN EXCELLENT ALL MATCHING CONDITION, WE HAVE A VERY UNUSUAL AND HIGHLY DESIRABLE MAUSER 1933 DATED “BANNER K” DEUTCHES REICHS POSTAL SERVICE RIFLE. THE BANNER K RIFLES ARE CONSIDERED TO BE THE ABSOLUTE APEX OF MAUSER MILITARY RIFLE FIT FINISH AND BEAUTY AND ARE HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER IN THIS TOP CONDITION. THIS RIFLE HAS AN ESPECIALLY ALLURING VERY TIGHT LINED TIGERSTRIPE STOCK OF EXCEPTIONAL BEAUTY, MAKING IT ONE OF THE FINEST EXAMPLES STILL KNOWN TO EXIST.
THESE DRP MARKED RIFLES WERE USED TO GUARD VALUABLE CASH SHIPMENTS AND POSTAL INSTALLATIONS AS WELL AS RADIO AND COMMUNICATION ASSETS. DURING THE WAR THEY WERE USED IN MANY ROLES INCLUDING ANTI PARTISAN OPERATIONS. THIS RIFLE IS MADE TO THE HIGHEST MAUSER COMMERCIAL STANDARDS OF FIT AND FINISH AND THIS ONE HAS A STUNNING STOCK.
DURING THE WAR, MANY OF THESE RIFLES ENDED UP SERVING IN THE ARMY AND THE SS IN FRONT LINE COMBAT. THESE RIFLES ARE VERY DESIRABLE TO COLLECTORS BECAUSE THEY ARE THE BASIS FOR THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SERIES WHICH IS THE K98k RIFLE. ALL SERIOUS GERMAN RIFLE COLLECTORS WANT THIS RIFLE FOR THEIR COLLECTIONS, THE MAUSER BANNER K VARIANT RIFLES ARE THE VERY FIRST OF THE 98K RIFLES AND ARE CONSIDERED TO BE THE MOST WELL FINISHED AND ATTRACTIVE OF THE PRE-WAR MODELS.
