I inherited a k98 from my grandpa about 20 years ago. It was put in the safe and forgotten about until recently. I know absolutely nothing about the k98 but from what I've seen in the forum I believe I may have a numbers matching 337 1940, serial number 4340.

Hi all, I inherited a k98 from my grandpa about 20 years ago which has sat in a safe until recently. While cleaning some other rifles I decided to give the old Mauser a look and a quick Google search led me to this forum. I look forward to the expertise of the group.
