SOLD 1941 PORTUGUESE CONTRACT MAUSER K98k RIFLE…..ALL MATCHING….NAZI ISSUE WITH SLING….MINT!

This is an excellent mint sharp example of a 1941 Portuguese Contract Mauser K98k Service Rifle.  This is believed to be one of the un-delivered “H” block rifles that was diverted back to the German Army.  These rifles are straight off the assembly line German Military issued K98k Rifles, they are waffenamted and made just like any other 1941 Mauser made 98k , the only difference being that the stock and receiver bear the State Crest of Portugal.  Indeed, many of these rifles were not even sent to the Portuguese but straight to the Russian Front, as they were diverted back into the German Army who had just invaded the Soviet Union.  These rifles do turn up from German sources once as this one still with the German issue sling.
