Might as well shoot it and enjoy. Beats pulling the trigger on an all matching 98k and having the stock crack or worse. Just my opinion.

I vote to keep it. has some value as stated above plus a fun shooter! A gem compared to my old BYF-44 super mix-matcher I had.

That an H stamp on the stock for army issue? Agree on the bad numbers on band but still for the money a decent grab. Nice to have a BNZ SS.

Sure advertised em enough in the gun rags in the past. Around $300 to start as I recall. Yep OK to blaze away with.

Still making the news here I see. Unfortunately am sure they sold a boat load of em.

Looks nice. By the way L&F stands for Linden & Funk. Supplied the metal buckle for 98k slings but not sure if the firm produced the entire sling. Sub-contractor I guess. Always nice to see another 243 Borsigwalde code for comparison with mine. My father brought mine back. Mine is a "H" stamped...

Well the #26 nos. are correct. As for the cleaning rod I have read here they were stamped with last 2 digits until sometime in 1941. Rod length 12 1/2 inches. Sounds like a low number on yours. Just comparing with my 243 1940 which is a bring back. Metal bluing on yours looks very good from...

Yeah would be fun to shoot but up to you. An Apfeltor kit is a good idea I would think.

Looks like a good one! For Cabela's not a bad price these days.

Man that is one to drool over! That stock is really immaculate along with the bluing. Nice to see.

Holy Chit! Starting bid of $6000. Gonna need a GoFundMe page with these prices.

Heck I would buy K-98 or G41-43 rifle ornaments for the tree. Doubt the branches would support my real one.

I would just wipe the stock down with a damp soft cloth and leave it. Am sure the bore could use a cleaning.

Didn't know a 243 1940 dated Borsigwalde was considered one of the more rare 98ks. Thanks for the tip.

Glad to hear you had a happy ending. Looks like great work.

Very nice example of a 40 Borsigwalde. Have one myself and great to see another in such fine condition.

Yep pretty expensive now. Have noticed Japanese Type 38s and 99s are rising too with mum intact. Should have jumped on that Type 99 for $25 back in 72.

I"ll say a long shot. Don't hold your breath but good luck anyway.

Checking here is the best way to score a prime example as suggested. Eliminates questionable examples from other sellers. Honesty spoken here from knowledgeable collectors.

I'll say very nice!! Those stampings really jump out at ya. Beautiful wood and metal. Hard to find em that NICE.
