Description

Gew 98 Spandau bolt-action rifle chambered in 7.92x57mm Mauser (8mm Mauser). This is a classic German Gewehr 98 manufactured in 1917 at the Spandau arsenal and rebuilt in 1920 during the Weimar era (often referred to as a double-date or 1917/1920 example). It features the legendary Mauser controlled-round-feed action known for its exceptional strength, smooth operation, and historical significance as the primary German service rifle of World War I.
This rifle is in very good used condition. The wood stock is solid with no cracks or major damage, showing only light handling marks from normal use. Metal finish retains strong bluing with minimal wear and no pitting or heavy rust. Bore is bright and clean with sharp rifling. Action cycles smoothly, locks up tight, and is mechanically sound.
