This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 12/16/2025
Mauser Werke Obernorf was one of the largest producers of wartime K98 turret style sniper rifles. This example is marked with a partially obscured Mauser eagle over "135" inspection code between the serial number and letter suffix on the receiver. The standard hooded front sight and tangent rear remain useable with the see through style turret mounts. Replica bases are unmarked with some solder visible along the edges. Front ring is numbered to match the rifle. Post-War Hensoldt Wetzlar Dialytan 4X optic with post and line reticle. Shortened safety as are usually observed on low turret rifles. Rifle has standard laminate stocks with added eagle "WaA135" inspection stamped on the right side. Stock sports milled mounts and a cupped butt plate. Externally visible numbers are matching although several appear to have been matched. Rifle includes a period cross hatch pattern leather sling. CONDITION: Very good as restored and assembled. Nearly all of the reapplied blue is retained throughout with some handling and freckling. Stock appears lightly sanded with added brown finish, the finish showing scuffs and dings, especially around the sling buckle. Well defined bore with some light areas of oxidation spotting. Fine mechanics. Optics remain clear enough to use.
