Gunboards KM (naval) DWM 1901 Gew98

Thanks for the heads up, that thing is magnificent!

I see a tag on it like it came from a shop instead of an individual. I suspect they didn't really understand the rarity (and condition) of what they had, and neither did the poster, as he didn't identify it as naval. That one could easily be the cornerstone of a Gew98 collection....

It's even got it's nice original 1st pattern sling.
 
I think he buys a lot of stuff in auctions. That looks like an auction tag to me. G98s are not my thing, but looks nice!
 
An amazing rifle, might be one of the finest known, though these do show up in better condition than most early production. Not many were made, but they tend to have less abuse compared to their Army counterparts.
 
Thats one exceptional rifle too say the least. Been looking at that rifle quite often today. And Mike don't be too hard on yourself you have three of them lol!
 
Two of my good friends we're telling me about that rifle. I am not on gunboards so I couldn't see all the pictures but I didn't see one photo of it. Out of the 13 Gewehr 98's I own. I only have one that nice.
