Of the various German mauser factories making 98s, J.P. Sauer and Son, had the lowest production figures. It was also considered to be one of the better made Mauser 98 rifles. For a mauser collector, it would be on his list as a must have for his collection. Own a Russian capture Sauer and Son 98 made in 1936 that has Weimar Republic stamp marks. Being Russian Capture, sadly, the bolt and a couple of other parts have serial numbers that do not match the receiver.
Curious, just what has been sporterized. For example, has the stock just been cut, with a few metal parts missing from the stock, but the rest of it is intact, untouched?
