This is a very late war rifle produced at the Mauser factory, as a Kreigsmodell. The top of the chamber is marked "Mod. 98 / SVWMB", the right side has two "eagle/135" proofs and the left side is marked with a Nazi firing proof followed by the serial number. The left rear of the barrel is marked with a Nazi firing proof, the top is marked with a partially visible shield followed by "44D" and the right side directly behind the hand guard is marked with an "eagle/135" proof. The parts are all late war stamped parts and the barrel bands are correctly welded and screwed on. The finish is all blue. Hooded front sight and rear tangent sight graduated to 2,000 meters and mounted with a one piece laminated stock with a cupped buttplate with the firing pin takedown hole. The stock is absent of any markings. Complete with a cross hatch brown leather sling, winter trigger, grenade launcher, leather case for the launcher with canvas strap and one inert grenade.

Very fine. The rifle retains 70% original blue finish with thinning on the barrel and some high edge wear. The floor plate and trigger guard have a smooth brown patina. The stock has a rough milled finish and remains very fine some minor splintering on the stock at the wrist area. The markings are clear. The action is fine. The case is very good.
