Our Assessment: This German Mauser K98 was made at the Waffen Werke Bystrica factory which was located in Slovakia during WWII. The rifle has clear Nazi marks and does not have Russian Capture marks. This rifle is ideal for the Military Surplus or WWII collector. Nazi marked k98 rifles are nowhere near as common as the used to be back in the “good old days”, so If you don’t have one, get one.
