World War II German K98 Mauser High Turret Sniper Rifle with Matching Scope Mount

This is a representative example of a late WWII German high turret sniper rifle that was manufactured by the Mauser factory that has been fitted with an unmarked sniper scope. The top of the receiver ring is covered by the front turret, however it is probably a late 1944 production rifle. The left side of the receiver has a small Eagle 135 proof from the Mauser factory with the receiver side wall marked "MOD 98". The rear of the barrel is marked "66098" and correctly numbered to match the rifle. The rifle has a stamped trigger guard and follower with a set of unnumbered milled barrel bands. The floor plate is stamped "byf" with two "eagle/135" marks. The front scope ring is matching numbered to the gun. The matching bolt is a correct late war version with the milled safety. The rifle is fitted with an early all blue sniper scope. It has the correct style sniper elevation knob that is graduated from 100-800 meters. The rifle is fitted with a late war laminated stock and matching handguard, with a smooth steel buttplate. With an unmarked tan leather sling.

ConditionFine as partially restored and refinished. The barrel and receiver have 50% of the original blue finish, with clear markings showing areas of edge wear, some light spotting and scattered moderate handling marks. The scope rings have been installed on the scope tube which has been reblued, with some light pitting showing under the current blue finish, as well as scattered small scratches, and light spotting. The extractor has a plum patina. The original laminated wood is very fine with scattered small pressure indentations, and minor light scratching. Scope is very good, with slightly hazy, though mostly clear optics and moderate spotting and light pitting throughout. Buttplate is a replacement.
