*◊ EXCELLENT LATE WAR GERMAN K98k, MADE AT MAUSER OBERNDORF, SVW45.

SN 947b. Cal. 7.92mm. This late war K98k is marked “MOD98” & “SVW45” on its receiver ring and double stamped with a large Nazi Eagle firing proof on the left side of the receiver ring. Also on the receiver & bbl are modern British proof marks. The rifle is matching & is SN “945b”. The SN on the bolt root may be force matched since it is upside down & lacks the suffix letter. The bbl, bbl bands, rear sight leaf, buttplate, floorplate, stock & magazine assembly are unnumbered. As is normal with late war 98k rifles, the buttstock lacks the bolt dismount tube and the cupped buttplate has been drilled to enable dismounting of the firing pin disassembly. As is common with K98k rifles produced at the end of the war, the trigger guard, floorplate and both bbl bands are stampings. Left side of the butt is stamped with large rack numbers “1372”. There are no German inspection marks, Waffenamts or similar marks normally found on a 98k. The laminated beech stock has a polished surface and the natural color is pleasantly visible. Stock is not cut for a cleaning rod & lacks a sight hood. This rifle comes with a rubber shoot-off muzzle cap and a brown leather sling. PROVENANCE: Collection of Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess. CONDITION: Finish on metal parts is 98%+. There are only a couple minor scratches on the stock; it still shows production marks from final sanding during its wartime production. Bore has strong rifling, but with significant debris & some corrosion visible in the lands & grooves. Mechanics are fully functional. Sling is supple, showing no evidence of field wear, but clearly has been with the rifle for some time. 4-53154 JJW22 (800-1,200) – Lot 1379
