Our Assessment: This Nazi marked German K98 Mauser was made at Mauser Werke AG, Borsigwalde back in 1942. It was around for WWII and most likely saw service during the war. The metal has been refinished so the rifle looks good. It has lots of nice marks on the metal and can still put lots of 8mm down range.
