Comment: VERY RARE !!! K98k S/42 1937 with FULLY MATCHING NUMBERS INC. BAYONET !!! An early, pre-war manufactured rifle for the German armed forces that exhibits all the usual pre-war features of a solid walnut stock, milled metalwork throughout and the flat butt plate. Every single numbered part matches (yes, even the screws !) including its correctly numbered bayonet. All correct markings and waffenampts are present and clear. Absolutely no pitting or rust. As is correct, the serial number is impressed below the wrist of the stock. The rifle is not a “Russian Capture”, it has not been reblued, sanded, polished, altered or changed in any way. It is an original German Army issued rifle that has survived intact and in original condition since its manufacture in 1937 - despite inevitably seeing war service. Absolutely no pitting or other damage. It is very rare and incredibly difficult to find any of the German K98k rifles in a fully matching state, let alone with their original, matching numbered bayonets. The bore is excellent and the rifle is in at least very good condition throughout. Also comes with an original German Army issued cleaning kit containing all the original components. Cleaning kit is marked “G.Appel 1938”. Also comes with an original German Army bayonet frog, maker marked and dated 1940. An absolute unicorn and a perfect, complete example for the collector.
