Late WWII K98 rifle manufactured by Waffenwerke Bruenn, A.-G., Werke Bystrica in 1944. The top of the receiver ring is marked with a Waffenamt proof over "dou / 44", the left side wall is marked "Mod. 98" and the left rear of the barrel is marked with the Nazi firing proof, the serial number, "?B dou" and two "eagle/A80" proofs. The bolt is renumbered to the gun, and no other parts are numbered. Stamped and welded barrel bands and stamped trigger guard and floor plate. Hooded blade front sight and tangent rear sight graduated to 2,000 meters and mounted with an unmarked one piece pistol grip laminated stock with matching handguard and cupped buttplate.

Excellent. The rifle retains 95% original blue finish overall, with wear on the edges and high spots, with the balance a smooth mottled brown patina. The bolt shows normal wear from cycling, with the floor plate showing areas of gray patina in the center. The stock has been freshened with a coat of varnish and remains very good. There are four letters scratched into the left side of the buttstock that are partially visible and overall some scattered minor dings and scratches. The sling is very good. The markings remain crisp and clear. The action is excellent.
