Offered here is a WWII German K98k Mauser rifle, factory coded bcd (Gustloff-Werke) and dated 1944, representing late-war German production.
This rifle remains in its original military configuration and presents honest wartime characteristics throughout.
The bolt assembly is matching, while the remaining serialized components are mismatched, which is commonly encountered on rifles that saw post-war service or arsenal rework.
The metal finish retains a significant amount of its original bluing, showing natural wear consistent with age and use, without evidence of modern refinish.
The stock is in very good condition, structurally solid with no visible cracks, and displays attractive grain with expected handling marks from service life.
The rifle is equipped with its original-style cleaning rod, a desirable and often missing accessory on many K98k rifles today.
Overall, this is a solid and honest late-war K98k, suitable for collectors looking for a representative example of bcd-coded Gustloff production, or for those seeking a functional and historically correct Mauser platform.
