Up for grabs is a rare and historic WWII-era K98 Mauser rifle, AX code marked and dated 1940, with an incredible Vietnam War bring-back provenance. This is not just a rifle—it’s a true combat-captured war trophy with history you can hold.


This rifle comes with three original documents (all in great condition) verifying its return from Saigon—along with a dedication plaque to the servicemember it was awarded to. No import marks anywhere, making this an even rarer and more desirable piece for serious collectors of war memorabilia.


While this K98 is not numbers-matching, it retains a wealth of original Waffenamt and German proof marks on the barrel, underside of the receiver, and additional components. The bore is dark with pitting, but still retains visible rifling.


Asking $2500 OBO.
Willing to meet at an FFL of your choice (buyer covers transfer fee). Prefer local buyers, but shipping can be arranged to your FFL if you're out of town—just send a PM and we’ll work out the details.


I have many more detailed photos available upon request. Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions—serious inquiries only, please.


Thank you for looking!
