I was given Mod 98 Mauser for helping clean out a neighbors house after he was moved into a nursing home. I know he was in WWII and I am wondering if he brought this rifle home with him in the war. His family knows nothing about the rifle or where he got it. They did not even know he owned a gun until it was found hidden behind his furnace burried under a ton of dust. The rifle has some info stamped on it and the Nazi symbol with the eagle on top of it. It also has 1938 stamped on it and above that 243 is stamped on it. I have a few questions for anyone who may know about it. What is it worth? Is it a 243? How rare is it? Seems to be in pretty good shape and in perfect functioning order. Serial umbers match on all parts. But they have been covered in the pictures. Any info will be greatly appreciated.
