Picked up another gap in my WWII collection. Been looking for a K98 in good condition with sharp stamps. It came with a surplus bayonet (likely Yugoslavian, but in good condition) and 50 rounds of 8mm Wolf Gold. Rifling is in good condition and bore is bright.
Here below is some of the Waffenamts and German Bird with Swastika, which are all really crisp. The Waffenamts read WaA63 (42, Mauserwerk, Oberndorf, 1938-39). The barrel and receiver match. There is electroscribed serials on all other parts by the Russians after capture, as well as the X stamped on top of the front receiver bridge.
Pretty pleased with my find. Still looking for a "Mum" intact Ariska, clean Swiss K31, French MAS 36, and a reproduction Thompson would be fine with me as well. Another would be an Enfield other than my Jungle Carbine would round out the collection quite nicely. Then on to some pistols.
