WWI Imperial German Spandau Gewehr 98 8mm Mauser Rifle (1915). Very Good. 29" Barrel. Shiny Bore, Tight Action Bolt Action . An exceptional, highly desirable example of the definitive Imperial German infantry rifle of World War I, offered in very good condition. Manufactured at the renowned Spandau arsenal during the height of the conflict in 1915, this Gewehr 98 features a 29-inch barrel, a traditional controlled-round-feed cock-on-open bolt action, and a bright, shiny bore. This specimen retains matching serial numbers throughout the metalwork, with the historically common wartime exception of the stock and steel buttplate assemblies. Adding immense historical value for advanced militaria collectors, an original brass unit marking disc is inset into the right side of the straight-grained wood stock, distinctly stamped 176R97 to denote service with the 176th Infantry Regiment. The rifle proudly displays crisp Imperial German proof and inspection marks across the chamber area and bottom metal. Mechanically complete, it is configured with an integrated wooden handguard, a drift-adjustable front sight, an elevation-adjustable rear tangent sight, a receiver-mounted bolt release, a bolt-shroud-mounted flag safety, a two-stage trigger, and an internal magazine with a removable floorplate. Bearing serial number 2541, this premier, unit-marked combat rifle represents an investment-grade piece of Great War history. (80173) (GSCH57)
