Hi everyone. I was wondering if you could give me some information on the markings of this 98K. Thank you.

The markings show it was originally a 1944 manufactured JP Sauer gun...everything else points to the fact it is a Mitchells Mauser abortion with heavily sanded stock, pimp shined bolt, and force matched humped numbers. Makes a fine shooter usually, has 0 collectability to it...just do a search for "mitchells mausers" and prepare to have your eyes opened on these, which sucker a lot of new collectors...

Thanks for the information, it does look strangely in good shape… too good actually. I guess I got suckered this time around.

October issue of Guns and Ammo has an article on the Mitchell Mauser by Dave Emary in case you are interested. Yep no collectability just a shooter.
