SOLD - Army Mauser K98 - 1940 Mfg

1/14/21 - This is a matching and original Nazi K98 that was made in 1940 at the Mauser factory. Receiver has scarce 243 code. Very good, original bluing on barrel and receiver, with most of the wear or patina on the trigger group. Period original sling and sight hood. Stock is numbered to...

I don't like the front barrel band. The bolt I also don't like, but hard to tell with these photos..

With no pics of the stock SN hard to tell.
Bolt is fine as is rest of action and trigger housing group.
Front band is definitely bad. To me the rear sight base is problematic, as it's too late for that year of production.
Too many issues for almost 3K.

Agree on front barrel band. Looks bad. Nothing like the nos. on my 40 Borsigwalde bringback. Plus nearly $3000.

Legacy along with Simpson have sold their share of humped 98k's. People trust them too much since they are higher end dealers. They just throw money at them willy nilly without doing their due diligence.
