German k98 aquired during prague uprising 1945

[joe n]

Thought I would show the German k98 rifle from my friend in the Czech Republic. An all matching example, in excellent condition. This rifle surfaced in the last 3 years apparently, was somehow aquired by a 17 year old boy during the Prague Uprising in May of 1945, then hidden in an attic. Wish I had more of the story (and the rifle!!). Thanks for looking

Beauty! Has your friend shot it or is it going to be a safe queen? The condition looks great!

Thanks Gentlemen, it is a beauty for certain. I think sinc eit is a collectable piece, I am hoping it won't be fired much. I have mroe pics, but they are too large and I am having some difficulty resizing them. When I do, I will post more. Thanks again for looking

Fire off a PM to me if you'd like a hand with the extra pictures - I can resize and host them for you if you'd like.

wow, Joe, that is something else! You should try flickr.com as a photohost, it's free, and sizes your pics to something reasonable when you link to them.
