Be careful when buyng K98k's......

[Badger]

Here's a bunch of links to examples that should make you pay careful attention, escpecially when you're buying what may be portrayed as an "all correct" and "all matching" K98k rifle.

The bottom line, validating provenance is becoming more important every day, particularly if one is buying these firearms as collectibles and expecting them to appreciate in value over time.

Great post, very helpful indeed.

Especially look after numbers ontop of numbers, and filed down bolts.
