Watching him cycle the bolt on the K98k made me want to cry. That's why I have a bunch of surplus.

If it came from Mitchell's it's a rare German proof mark.

Not a proper sling either.

You're asking for trouble.

You can try Clorox and about an hour in the sun. Rinse well and wipe down liberally with mineral spirits. I refinished wooden golf clubs back in the 80's and used this method often. Never seemed to hurt the integrity of the wood as long as you got the bleach off.

Sure looked like an elm Yugo stock too.

$1299 for an RC, a bnz42. bnz is renowned as one of the Mauser manufacturers, look it up if you have the book. :faint: We don't have the book yet cause mrfarb hasn't come out with Vol. 2 yet. Pretty smart of Classic. Counter bored for your pleasure.:thumbsup:

My father did that kind of stuff when he lived in Germany, to bad he's not around any more he'd probably have an answer for you. Can you take it out of the frame? Maybe it has something stamped on the back or hidden away like a company name and address. I can't imagine a schematic not marked...

Get a sharp plastic putty knife, shellac is brittle and can be peeled off.

Look under the rear band for a place that looks like it had been cut a long time ago. This is called a duffle cut and usually a pretty sure sign of a bring back but without bring back papers you can never be sure.

This could be a red flag though maybe I'm misunderstanding what you are saying, let's see pictures. I own two 1937 Sauers and they are the cream of the crop.

Happy 39th !

Love old Sauers, I've got two 1937s

Is this the guy? $2500 for a Mitchell's. I guess the death's head stamp makes it worth that much. :laugh: What nerve. http://www.gunsinternational.com/guns-for-sale-online/rifles/mauser-rifles-military/mitchell-mauser-collector-grade.cfm?gun_id=100367572

I gotta wonder why the seller still has it up and it's for sale AS IS. Doesn't say much for the seller, if he ain't the humper why is it AS IS?

Great story, my dad was on the other side. You have a piece of history and a great story to cherish for the rest of your life. I own two 37 Sauers so I know you have a real fine weapon. My dad used to swear the K98k was the absolute best rifle of the war but my dad would say that about anything...

And it's a Sauer to boot. :thumbsup: My favorite maker.

How could you go wrong buying something from a seller named mr.garand?

Collecting legit K98ks is right up there with studying brain surgery or atomic science that's for sure. After three years of it I know barely enough to get by. Might I suggest the two books, Karabiner 98k and Kriiegesmodell. No novice or collector should be without them. Hopefully Volume 2 will...

The infamous seller needs to clean his gray carpet too.
