This is a solid representative example of a World War II German high turret sniper rifle that was manufactured by the Mauser factory, and fitted with a Dialytan 4x 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 stamped steel trigger guard housing, floorplate and barrel bands, with a cupped steel buttplate. Full and partial matching visible serial numbers on the barrel, receiver, barrel bands, floorplate, and interior of the laminated handguard, with some numbers arsenal restamped to match. The late war laminated stock is numbered with "31100" stamped inside the stock channel. Number "36996" on the left side of the front scope ring, with "DIALYTAN 4x/bmj" and "69825/+" marked on the scope tube. The scope has the correct sniper elevation knob on top graduated from 100-800 meters. Fitted with a correct period brown leather sling. Includes reproduction leather scope caps.
