This is an example of a copy late-war production K98 rifle made by J. P. Sauer and Sohns with a short rail sniper mounting system. The rifle is equipped with an unmarked scope. The scope mount is numbered to the gun. The top of the receiver ring is marked with an eagle proof mark over "ce" over "44", An "eagle/280" proof is marked on the right side and the Nazi firing proof and serial number are marked on the left side. The left side receiver wall is covered by the mounting base. The left rear of the barrel is marked with a Nazi firing proof and a "c" is visible on the right side (the remainder under the stock). All machined parts, except the rear barrel band, with all visible numbers matching. Hooded ramp front sight and tangent rear sight graduated to 2,000 meters. Mounted with a laminated stock and matching forearm with cupped buttplate, brown leather cross hatch sling and marked with an eagle proof over "H" on the right rear.

Fine as custom made. The rifle retains 90% refurbished blue finish with some thinning on the forward portion of the barrel and bolt handle. The trigger guard and floor plate have a smooth brown patina. The stock is also excellent with a few scattered minor dings and dents. The stock is very good with some light spotting and clear optics. The sling is good with some moderate wear. The markings are clear. The action is excellent.
