*EXTREMELY RARE AR/42 CODE MAUSER MODEL 98K WITH THE EXTREMELY RARE DUAL RAIL SCOPE MOUNT AND A ZF41 MARKSMAN’S SCOPE.

Revised: 3/3/2008

(Additional Information) Please Note : Consignor states that “this gun was not restored but that it is origin blue finish used by Mauser Werke Berlin on their Code AR/42 rifles. This is the gun that is pictured in the Standard Catalogue of Military Firearms, Schwing 3rd Edition on pg 165 and my name appears beneath the photo. The scope mount is Waffenampted on the front bottom left leg of the scope ring that’s part of the scope mount. I believe there were only 25 of these made with this type of mounting system as the serial number ends in 05. Also the front sight hood, I believe, is electric pencil marked 25/5 and this rifle was manufactured at appoint in the war where the Germans were experimenting with cheaper produced snipers. Also this rifle was produced at the same period the Germans were experimenting with the same mount on their G41W (listed below number 10). This rifle was brought home by a vet who served in the 90th Division and purchased by me from the family when the vet died and it was found in his closet. The family wanted to turn it in at a police buy-back in Boston as they disliked firearms but a MA State Trooper talked them into keeping it and selling it to a licensed dealer for historical purposes.”
