Sauer SSR
I haven’t been on the forum in quite some time and found this thread on my favorite K98, the JPS. I had a matching Sauer SSR some years ago, purchased at the same time I acquired a Sauer HT. Unfortunately I sold the SSR about 12 years ago, before I joined this forum. I have no pictures of it but I do have my notes on it, which may be of interest....
The Sauer SSR was an early 1942 built rifle, all matching, including the scope mount. Serial # “546 d”. Army “H” marked stock. All parts matching numbered with about 75% finish remaining. Both top and bottom scope mounts were numbered to the rifle. Bottom mount was the early three hole type. Locking lever was angled up a bit when locked, not flat. Scope was marked ‘cad’. Good optics. Rifle seemed to be correct except for one thing, a single Weimar eagle stamped on the bottom scope mount. This one abnormally may call into question whether the rifle was legit or not, but that’s the way it was marked.
Wish I had pics and more info on the rifle. I’ve always enjoyed the forum and look forward to learning more about K98s!
