Nice gun. Please picture or describe the receiver markings and barrel proofs. Also is this a 100% serial number matching gun?
Yes, it's an all original German Mauser.
If it is, guarded well. Was at my local gun shop yesterday and they had bought a bunch of Mausers 92.95 & 98s but one was a very fine specimen 98K (1938) with no import marks. Are you sitting down? granted this store is ridiculously high as a matter of course but they wanted 4999 for it. Yes four THOUSAND. Can you 98 guys shed some light on collectible Mauser prices these days? They also had an all matching (except the magazine) Luger made in 1916 ( I suspect the grips were refinished but that's another story) for t3K. That seems hign but reasonable but are 98s that expensive now?
