I picked up this CE 43 K98 k today for 400. its non matching, and appears it was a russian capture, but its in great condition. let me know what you think and how much you think its worth. this is NOT a Mitchells mauser, dont worry. and the sling and bayonet are repos.

Nice Rifle. If the bore is excellent then you are a little ahead in relation to value and how much you paid. JP Sauer & Sohn (CE) was no slouch in 43, so it's a fairly common code RC. With the repro sling and bayo, and if the bore is excellent I would say $450-475 for the package is a good deal. RC's are no longer cheap.
Hi,is there an Eangle with an H under it on the butt stock?can you post an picture
H stands for Heer, German for army
J.P. Sauer & Sohns K 98s are top of the line. Nice one!
hey thanks! this is awesome, i wish there was some way to look up the history, find out who had it, what unit and that. anyone know of anything? or was that not recorded?
I feel you. Keep in mind that your rifle is an RC. It has been assembled and mixedmastered from a ton of k98ks and German utilized large ring 98 rifles. Practically each part of your rifle was used by a different individual and time frame....
