"dot" 1943 German Mauser K98k bolt-action rifle chambered in 8mm Mauser (7.92×57mm). The "dot" code identifies production by Waffenwerke Brünn (Brno), dated 1943. This example is mechanically excellent with a mirror bore and sharp rifling, and comes with a leather sling. No import mark is present. The rifle wears a polished blued finish that is likely reapplied (refinished), and some Wehrmacht eagle (Waffenamt) inspection stamps remain visible on the receiver and barrel.
The K98k was the standard-issue German service rifle of World War II, produced across numerous contractors including Waffenwerke Brünn under the "dot" code. This 1943-dated example presents as a mechanically excellent, strong-bored shooter and collector-interest rifle. Honestly noted, the polished bluing appears to be a later refinish rather than original wartime finish; the bore remains a mirror with sharp rifling, the action functions excellently, and original eagle inspection markings are still present, making this an attractive and affordable way into "dot"-coded K98k collecting or an excellent vintage Mauser to shoot.
