    Hi all! I picked this K98k up this past Monday at auction. After getting it home I noticed it was missing the bayonet lug and cleaning rod and quickly realized I had some sort of Kriegsmodell on my hands. It came with the original sling but unfortunately it snapped before it made it to the auction house. The rifle has no force matching, capture marks or import marks. The bolt is mismatched from the rest of the rifle. I’d be curious to see what you all think about it.

    One way or another, I’m very happy with it and it has definitely filled a void in my personal collection that I’ve been meaning to fill for quite some time.

    OK, not a Mauser collector so I had to do some online self education to learn about the "semi" Kriegsmodell. Cool! Have a thing for last ditch Arisakas and knew little about late war Mausers so this is interesting. Wonder how common this variant is?
    Sucks about the sling but the rifle looks great. Did you get that at the Labor Day Johnsville auction? I remember seeing a catalog photo of a nice looking K98k and thinking "OK, that's gonna generate some interest!".
