*◊ RARE MAUSER KARABINER 98B CUTAWAY RIFLE, WITH FLAT TANGENT SIGHTS FOR HEAVY BALL AMMUNITION.

SN 281. Cal. 7.92mm. Very scarce early Third Reich training rifle. The butt has been cut off midway through the small of the stock. Rear sight only is coded “S42” for Mauser Oberndorf with correct Waffenamt inspection marks “Eagle/WaA63”. No other Waffenamts appear on this rifle, except for “Eagle/H.Za.Jt 10” which is stamped under the forestock below the rear sight. Rifle is SN “281” and is 100% matching, although many components show evidence of being renumbered when the rifle was assembled at the Ingolstadt Ornance Depot (Eagle/H.Za.Jt 10). No sling or cleaning rod. Missing the small retaining screw at the front of the trigger guard assembly and the cleaning rod. The receiver cutaway section has eliminated the manufacturer’s marking. PROVENANCE: Collection of Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess. CONDITION: Retains 98% of the finish applied at the depot. Stock has had its butt removed. Remaining stock has minor abrasions consistent with classroom use as a training aide. Trigger guard is bent slightly inward at approx 6 o’clock. The depot marking on the forestock is particularly crisp & legible. This rifle is in extremely fine condition given its age and wartime use. 4-53147 JJW1 (6,000-10,000) – Lot 1364
