Here is a really nice original pre war 1912 Danzig Kar98. I got to give Bruce the assist on this one. He knew I was in the market for a nice original pre war Kar98. This one has a pretty sweet piece of wood on it. Please let me know if you want to see something that I may have missed. I will let the photos do the rest of the talking on this piece…..

You certainly have an eye for the pretty rifles, that's a beautiful piece of walnut on it. Congrats on a stunning prewar Kar98a!

That's a great one Jory, glad it looked even nicer in person. About as solid a prewar as you can get!

Almost missed your post Jory due to my absence, but glad that I didn't! Solid Kar98 pickup; a very pretty gun.

I didn’t see this one either. There is no way to duplicate the beauty of a piece of wood like this. Being buffed by wool tunics and hand oils for a century make it shine! Very nice.
