GERMAN K98 MAUSER, 1943 SERIAL NO. 759
German 1943 production K98 Mauser, serial number 759 which matches on all such stamped parts of the weapon. The stock apparently original, bears virtually no damage save a few very scattered tiny dings. Barrel is unblued and lightly tarnished, and bore appears to be excellent. Engraved with maker 'CE' (for J. P. Sauer) and date '43' on top of the chamber, with about five inspection marks scattered about the weapon. Cleaning rod is present. The flip up rear sight activates smoothly, the front site has a modern clip-on shade. The butt plate is undented nor is it scratched or otherwise damaged. The bolt action on this rifle is smooth, with no hang-ups, the safety operates fine. Fitted with a new replacement leather sling.
