This is an example of a late-war production K98 rifle made by J. P. Sauer and Sohns with a short rail sniper mounting system. Hooded ramp front sight and tangent rear sight graduated to 2,000 meters and equipped with an unmarked scope. The scope mount is numbered to the gun. The left side receiver wall is covered by the mounting base. An eagle proof mark is stamped above "ce/44" on top of the receiver ring. An eagle/280 proof is marked on the right side of the receiver ring, with a Nazi firing proof along with the serial number on the left side. 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. 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 and a smooth brown patina on the trigger guard and floor plate. The stock is excellent with a few scattered minor dings and dents. The scope 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.
