Fine original Japanese contract Mauser 1938 42 k98 8mm Rifle matching including its serial numbered stock except for the hand guard and trigger guard screw…This rifle was part of two small contracts with Mauser ordered by Japan in 1938 and very few examples remain intact or known…This rifle also has a Chinese militia stamp in the stock which indicates late war or immediate post war use by Chinese militia forces…A very rare K98.
