Superb!
I like my Portuguese K98. I traded it off in 1992 or 93 and I thought it went to Montreal. It came back to our gun show in Riverview the next year. It was purchased by a local Dr. when the show opened the first morning. In 2006 or 07, I got a call from a gunsmith and he said a customer had a Mauser for sale. I called the gentleman and asked him for a description, and price. I thought it may have been a Portuguese K98, because of the date and crest. I searched through my records for the serial number of the one I had traded off. I was curious to see if it was in a Portuguese and the serial number block. When I saw the top wood with the dark strip through it I didn't have to look at the serial number it was my K98. The only flaw on the gun is the dark stain on the edge of the butt plate.
This one is a keeper, and I don't even put it on the rack.
There is one around here locally but he won't part with it. I tried to get it for a friend of mine and the guy offered him $850 for it and it was well used. I traded my used Portuguese 41 for a New in the box Remington 700 SS 5R 308. I didn't like to let it go but I didn't get any reasonable offers on it when I put it up on the EE Forum so I took the 5R deal. I haven't even sighted it in yet, waiting for my Bausch & Lomb 4000 to be repaired.
