Rare WWII German Erma “AX 41” Code K98 Bolt Action Rifle 8mm (L2025-11475)

Serial No. 6038, manufactured in 1941, 8mm, 24” round barrel. Rifle remains in very good overall condition, with matching serial numbers throughout. The original blue finish is beginning to thin to a brown/plum patina, primarily along the barrel and high edges, while factory markings and Waffenamts remain sharp and well-defined. The hardwood stock is in excellent structural condition, displaying light handling impressions and visible cartouches, consistent with careful wartime service use. Action is smooth and functions correctly. Rifle comes with its original stock. A handsome and desirable example of an “AX 41” code Mauser K98, manufactured by Erma (Erfurter Maschinenfabrik) during the early years of WWII production, before production switched to MP40’s
