Hello all,
Recently joined. Have been wanting a K98k badly lately. I attended our local gun show today. Before I could purchase a ticket to enter I noticed a gentlemen with a Mauser on his shoulder to check in. I mentioned I wanted to see it. Upon smoking it over I found;
-DOU. 44
-No import marks, No Russian X marks, No peened out Wehrmacht markings, etc.
-Numbers matching besides the bolt (it however matched itself entirely).
-Very nice bore and barrel.
-What seemed to be original sling.
I paid $700 for it immediately and was constantly asked about it for the rest of the day / visit. I got it home and broke it down. I couldn't find any numbering for the rifle on the inside of the stock... just what seemed to be a Wehrmacht marking?
to be continued...
