RARE !!! K98k S/42 1937 8mm Mauser rifle with FULLY MATCHING numbers. One of the early, pre-war manufactured rifles 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. All parts are correct for this particular model/manufacturer/year. All correct markings and waffenampts are present and clear. We have disassembled it and confirmed the stock is also correctly numbered to the rifle. It is in great condition underneath the wood with no pitting or rust. As is correct, the serial number is impressed below the wrist of the stock with an “L” impressed below it, indicating it was issued to the Luftwaffe. The rifle is not a “Russian Capture”, it has not been reblued, sanded, polished, altered or changed in any way. It is an original Luftwaffe issued rifle that has survived intact and in original condition since its manufacture in 1937 - despite inevitably seeing war service. Absolutely no rust, pitting or other damage. Very good throughout. Loads of photos available to interested buyers. $35 postage Australia wide.
