Sauer Click image to enlarge PreviousNextSimilar Items Lot closed - Sold Price (Including Buyer`s Premium):$1,020 Description Description: serial #429g, 8mm Mauser, 24” barrel with an about very good bore showing light oxidation and pitting in the grooves but strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this S/147-coded rifle have toned to a blue-gray patina, generous remnants of blue on the upper band, triggerguard, and the protected areas, with light wear on high edges and contact points, scattered oxidation staining, and some light handling marks; the date coding on the receiver has been partially obscured by punch marks, appearing to read “1936”, and the base of the barrel shows multiple moderate tool marks. The pistolgrip European walnut stock is in very good plus condition with an older abraded area on the left side just below the tip of the comb, smoothed from the years, and the expected light dings and handling marks from a military rifle; the flat steel buttplate has worn to gray with light handling marks and staining, and is lightly proud of the stock at the toe. The stock is marked with a softened but still readily legible “(eagel) / H” Heer marking and “(eagle) / WaA214” waffenamt on the right side of the butt, the third eagle softened and illegible, the softened remnants of two waffenamts behind the triggerguard, and the toeline is lightly marked (429 / g / K / (eagle) / WaA214”; the handguard is also numbered to the rifle. The original metal markings are largely intact and crisp, save for the previously mentioned date marking, showing droopwing eagles, “214” and “WaA214” waffenamts, and all numbered parts are matching to the rifle except for the bolt assembly, which is numbered “5100c”. The rear action screw shows light slot wear. The rifle retains the standard open sights and appears to function well mechanically. A solid K98k produced before the beginning of WWII.
