Mauser Nazi K98k 1940 AG Oberndorf

Description

In excellent but combat carried condition, this is a very desirable example of a hard to find early war K98k WW2 service rifle. Numbers on the bolt, receiver & barrel all match! This Karabiner 98k (K98) was made by the Mauser AG Oberndorf factory as identified by 42 being stamped on the receiver ring being the secret code the Nazi's used for Mauser AG Oberndorf with 1940 indicating the year. Records show this serial number was indeed made in 1940. It is covered in Waffenamts & eagle firing proof in all the right places. It displays the standard Waffenamt proofs & single firing proof on the barrel & receiver, with “Mod. 98” marked on the receiver wall. The rifle is fitted with the standard laminated stock with the early flat butt plate as was correct & overall, it is in original, unmolested condition. Interestingly, the front barrel band has the sling attachment on the bottom rather than the side. This band has a Waffenamt acceptance stamp on it which is not deformed meaning this left the factory this way. Correspondingly, under the butt stock has a sling mount fitted. The bluing is in excellent condition as is the wood. Whilst you may not call it a museum grade example, it is definitely an excellent example of a collector grade early war rifle. Early war K98’s are getting harder to find, let alone with matching numbers in the right areas. The bore is great with good rifling so definitely a shooter we think. View all of the photos carefully as these form the main description & override all others.
