This rifle is complete and functional but missing the leather strap and cleaning rod. This one was made the year Hitler came to power in Germany. This gun was ordered for and issued to the 'Deutches Reich Post' or German Postal Service during the Weimar period of German history. Wood very good with no signs of dings and impressions. 1/6/21 - This is an excellent example of a DRP-marked Mauser K98, manufactured in 1933.

7.62 NATO K98k Mausers from Norway are not commonly encountered today, though several retail outlets in the US have. Barrel and receiver have a very nice phosphate finish. Many of the barrels were manufactured, but only a few thousand rifles were ever converted before Norway decided (in 1966) to relegate the K98k to war reserve and adopt the AG-3, a version of the H&K G3 battle rifle in 7.62 NATO. Matching numbers on barrel, bolt, and safety, and no import stamps. Built at the Gustloff Werke, Werk Wiemar, Weimar plant in 1945. The Gewehr 98 saw further military use by theВ Ottoman EmpireВ and Nationalist Spain. It first saw combat in the Chinese Boxer RebellionВ and was the main German infantry service rifle ofВ World War I. The Gewehr 98 replaced the earlier Gewehr 1888В as the main German service rifle. The Gewehr 98 action, using aВ stripper clipВ loaded with the 7.92Г—57mm MauserВ cartridge, successfully combined and improved several bolt action engineering concepts which were soon adopted by many other countries including the UK, Japan, and the US. It was the German service rifleВ from 1898 to 1935, when it was replaced by the Karabiner 98k, a shorter weapon using the same basic design. The Gewehr 98В (abbreviated G98, Gew 98, or M98) is a German bolt actionВ rifle made by MauserВ firing cartridges from a 5-round internal clip-loaded magazine.
