8/17/20 - This is an all matching and original Erfurt Kar98 from 1916. The bluing is a little tough to rate on this one as there isn't much finish loss but there is patina throughout. All numbered parts are matching, including the front sight, bayo lug, bands, bolt assembly, stock, trigger group, adjustable rear sight, etc. There's also Imperial proofs all over the rifle, with several clear stamps on the stock. The stock is in great shape with standard nicks and dings but no major defects. Bore has very strong rifling but some pitting in the grooves.
