Used Weapon

Repeater rifle, Gewehr 98 Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabrik Berlin, cal. 8x57IS, manufactured in 1905, German Empire, WW1, WW2. The 98 system is probably one of, if not the most popular and most imitated weapon systems of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Introduced in 1898 as the standard armament of the Imperial German Army, the Gewehr 98 provided valuable service and formed the backbone of German armament. During the war, the characteristics that made the rifle so popular became evident: robustness, reliability, and precision.

The Gewehr 98 was the standard armament of the German Imperial Forces from 1898 until Germany's capitulation in 1918. However, during the war, the Gewehr 98 earned an almost legendary reputation and was, beyond this reputation, a crucial building block of the aura that surrounds the Mauser company. The influence of the 98 system on future weapon development was also significant, having a direct or indirect impact on everything that followed.

The condition of the weapon is very good; unfortunately, it is not matching numbers and does not have a valid proof, therefore sale is only to collectors or licensed dealers.

The stock of the rifle has been modified for hunting purposes. The weapon features the typical stepped barrel.
