My father’s all original near mint condition German 98K Mauser, a second lookAbout 17 years ago my father bought this German Mauser Karabiner 98 rifle at a gun show. It was manufactured at the Erfurter Maschinenefabrik (Erma) in 1937. It is in almost pristine condition. It has all matching parts. On most German Mausers the German markings are ground off and restamped with the markings of the country that acquired them after the war. This still has its original markings. It still has the device which locks the bolt open when the magazine is empty, most of these were ground off after the war. In others words this rifle has not been touched, modified, or fooled around with.17 years ago my father paid $75 dollars for it. Lets just say its worth a heck of a lot more now. -- source link
