12-1 VERY RARE MAUSER 1934 MODEL 98 BANNER K RIFLE, SA. ISSUE Ch.d.A. MARKED ON THE STOCK, MATCHING AND MINT!

This rifle was formerly in the personal collection of the late arms collector and dealer Hugh Brock.  In excellent condition and completely matching, we have a very rare and highly sought after late 1934 production Mauser Banner K Rifle.  The rifle is cartouched with the Ch.d.A marking which stands for the chief of the Training system of the SA. known as the Chef des Ausbildungswesens der obersten SA.  Approximately 10,000 rifles were sold by Mauser to the S.A. to arm this group of brown shirted goons.  After the fall of Ernst Rohm, the S.A. was downsized and re-organized and it is possible that this rifle ended up in the Army or SS or it may have stayed in the SA.  The Mauser Banner K Rifles are considered to be the most beautiful and visually stunning military rifles that Mauser ever produced the fit and finish is the apex of quality.  Ch.d.A marked rifles are right at the top of the list of the most sought after rifles of the Nazi era.  This is a premier grade rifle and it should be noted the best example that Hugh could locate for his personal collection
