Condition:

VG with wear as one would expect from a carried gun that was in service throughout World War II. Areas of usual contact and use with toning and early thinning, especially around the forward barrel band and components of the trigger guard, floorplate, and butt plate. Stock and hand guard have been lightly sanded and refinished, the markings on the right side of the butt stock barely discernible. Action was not removed from the stock. Sling is dark and oil soaked. Surprisingly bright bore with strong rifling. Correct manual mechanics. A classic K98k made by Berlin Lubeck in 1938 and used by the German military throughout World War II.
