(C) FINE MAUSER K98 BOLT ACTION DOUBLE CLAW SNIPER RIFLE.
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 12/16/2025
Although the receiver code is obscured by the scope base, rifle appears to be Mauser production with a stick eagle "135" inspection visible on the barrel. The double claw bases are of the form used on early SS assembled objective mount sniper rifles and are brazed onto the rings. Full style rings with top screws, the forward ring attached to the bell. Rear ring base is numbered to match the rifle. Scope is a Hensolt Wetlzar Zieljagd 4X with checkered adjustment ring and rubber eye cup. Rifle retains its standard hooded barleycorn front sight and tangent rear which remain useable through the scope bases. Rifle retains what appears to be its original blued finish. Matching solid walnut stocks marked with a crisp eagle "WaA135" inspection on the right side. Machined mounts and a cupped butt plate. Matching numbers observed throughout. No visible import marks. A period L&F leather sling is included. Although of nonstandard configuration, this rifle appears to have been assembled as such for some time. CONDITION: Fine. Rifle retains the vast majority of its blued finish with some expected fading and freckling. Stock has scattered dings and nicks. Crisp, bright bore with some mild areas of frosting. Fine mechanics. Optic has some light clouding.
