New K98K

[CanadianAR]

I wont bore you guys with tons of pics, as canadacollector had a huge thread a few months ago.

Just picked this up.

1941 PORT contract K98K. Fully matching, with matching bayo and scab, rifle still packed with cosmo inside.

Not as nice of wood as my other port but still nice.
I can post more pics if anyone wants.

Another beauty!

That Seitengewehr 84/98 sure looks naked without a comfy leather frog...

Cheers!

 

[gaff]

is the serial number on the butt plate ?

 

[Dark Alley Dan]

My, my - that is new, isn't it!

A lovely thing. Good score!

 

[CanadianAR]

No serial on butt plate for any H block I've seen.

Buttplate is brg, waa497 I think, and features a tiny cross like all other port rifles.

Yeah would look better with a frog but where to find a stone mint original.....

Not correct though.
I wonder if the portuguese were supplied with frogs??

Congrats! great score!

Sad part is, ill be selling my other port to finance this one, it was my first all matching k98k. But an upgrade is an upgrade.

 

[jbmauser]

I think you did well! It looks very nice. Too bad about selling off one, but in the end you'll have a better collection.

Nice Ports! I would be tempted to keep the pair of them, I think. Nice to see you have the required "gun forum toes in photo", I always manage to do that as well.

 

[CanadianAR]

lol, i tried so hard to avoid that, lost focus on this one, haha

 

[jbmauser]

I looked at the two Ports together and thought what an awesome looking pair! Then I scrolled down a bit and saw the toes and almost tossed up my dinner.

 

[Capt.Canuck]

Very nice find. What makes the new one an upgrade vs. your other one?

I like the wood on both btw.

 

[CanadianAR]

Fixed. LOL

Capt.

The first one I got has a mismatched bayonet and scabbard. But matching rifle.

New one is 100% matching.

The matching bayonet is still out there and could turn up! Don't give up!

 

[CanadianAR]

Haha, I know. I started collecting data on rifles and bayos. Made one match. But I think ill sell one. I'd rather have the money to buy something different when it comes along.

do you prefer blondes or brunettes?

Well, I prefer Dirty Blondes!

Just like my wife!
