This is a solid representative example of a late World War II German high turret sniper rifle that was manufactured by the Mauser factory, and fitted with a Dialytan 4x "bmj" code sniper scope. The top of the receiver ring is covered by the front turret scope base, reinforced with correct late war style soldering around the edges. The breech end of the barrel, left of the receiver and left of the rear scope base correctly have a small "eagle/135" proof from the Mauser factory, with the receiver side wall marked "Mod.98". The rifle has a milled trigger guard housing and follower with a stamped front barrel band and milled rear barrel band. Various components are stamped with "eagle/135" proofs. The full and partial matching serial number is marked on the receiver, bolt and its components, barrel bands, rear sight, floorplate, trigger guard housing, and the rifle is fitted with a late war laminated stock matching serial numbered with "37075" stamped inside the stock channel as well as on the inside of the laminated handguard, with a smooth steel buttplate. The scope tube is marked "DIALYTAN 4x/bmj" and "71417/+" on the left. The scope has the correct style sniper elevation knob on top graduated from 100-800 meters. The left of the front scope ring is numbered "31808" and the underside of the rear scope ring mount is numbered "137". Includes a correct brown leather sling and black leather scope caps with an "eagle/WaA414" Waffenamt stamp. Relevant information and similar pictured examples can be found on pages 54-62 of the book "Backbone of the Wehrmacht Volume II: Sniper Variations of the German K98k Rifle" by Richard D. Law.

Very fine, retaining 95% arsenal refurbished blue finish with a few areas of light pitting visible beneath the finish. Stock is also fine as lightly arsenal sanded and re-oiled, with some light handling marks and a few cracks on the right of the buttstock. Mechanically excellent. Scope is fine with 75% arsenal refurbished blue finish and a few patches of light pitting/freckling, and mostly clear optics with some minor hazing.
