Kar98 Berlin-Lübecker Maschinenfabrik (BLM) Kar-98 K Bolt Action 7.92x57mm Mauser Rifle

A Pre WW2-(1938), Karabiner 98k Rifle by S/237 (Berlin-Lübecker), Extensive WaA26 Stamps, Deactivated.

An outstanding early-production German Karabiner 98k, manufactured in 1938 under the pre-war maker code S/237 (Berlin-Lübecker Maschinenfabrik).

The rifle displays the classic early K98k features: correct tangent rear sight graduated to 2000 metres, early-pattern hardwood stock with crisp grasping grooves, and the correct pre-war finish and metal bluing. The bore gauge marking 7,90 confirms its original 7.92×57 chambering.

Most impressive is the abundance of crisp Waffenamt 26 inspection stamps across the rifle — the correct Heereswaffenamt code for Berlin-Lübecker between 1935 and 1939.

Interestingly, this rifle saw service with the post war Bundeswehr, as shown by the Bundeswehr eagle stamped on to the stock. Probably used for parade and ceremonial.

So a 1938 Kar 98K, if superb condition, that has seen service in the German army before, during and after WW2.
