7/24/20 - This is a rare G Date Mauser K98, manufactured in 1935 and featuring all matching numbers and original finish. Introduced during the early years of the Nazi Party's dominance of Germany, the code system was intended to obscure the scale and speed of German re-armament, and all correct G Date K98s are seldom available to the collector market. The original finish rates at about 80-85% with thinning on the trigger guard, front band and muzzle. There is also a general patina to certain areas, especially the trigger group. The receiver has excellent blue which is uncommon as these early K98s were heavily used. All numbered parts match the receiver, including the hand guard, as well as the stock (internally numbered). The only part we believe to be incorrect on the rifle is the front barrel band. Stock is gorgeous with sharp Heer Army proof on the right side. Loads of early acceptance proofs adorn this rifle as well. Comes with an original sling and cleaning rod. The rod is an early example and numbered '71', as opposed to the '41' of the rifle. Terrific bore.
