98 8mm Mauser (7.92x57mm / 8×57 IS/JS)

DOT 44 K98k rifle, appearing to be a captured example with eagle stamps peened out. This rifle is partial serial-number matching and remains mechanically sound. The bore is frosted but retains strong rifling. The stock shows old arsenal repair work, adding honest character and visible service history to the rifle.
The DOT 44 code identifies Waffenwerke Brunn production in 1944, one of the major late-war K98k manufacturers. Captured or postwar-refurbished examples often show peened or defaced German eagle markings, mixed or partially matching parts, and arsenal repair work from continued service after WWII. This example presents as a historically interesting late-war K98k with visible capture/refurbishment traits, strong rifling, sound mechanics, and a stock repair that reflects its long service life. For collectors seeking a K98k with real wartime and postwar character, this DOT 44 offers a solid and appealing example.
