    Looks to be a very good example of a mid war WWII Germanicon 98K rifle.
    The left side of the receiver and barrel are marked with a single "eagle/swastika" firing proof and the left side the receiver side wall is stamped "Mod.98" in small block letters.

    It has the earlier style all milled components: barrel bands, trigger guard and floor plate. It is fitted with a correct laminated stock and handguard.

    It is fitted with a cupped steel buttplate. The barrel has the standard fixed front sight with the military tangent rear sight graduated to 2,000 meters.
    Not sure why this was going for the chop unless it is "shot out", which even if it was that is an easy replacement to fix. Good luck and buy it.
