3/26/18 - This is a nice example of an authentic Mauser K98 from World War II that likely saw some use. It is all matching and original, with natural wear to the wood and metal finish. The finish on the receiver and barrel shows some patina and thinning but it is spread out uniformly. The stock is waffen proofed and shows some age and dings, but no major cracks. All numbered parts are matching. The bore is shiny with strong rifle. Action seems good, as well, so this one can double as a nice shooter and a fully original collectors item/display piece.
