Overview & History
Founded in Oberndorf, Germany in 1874, Mauser produced the bolt-action rifles that became the template for the 20th century - the Gewehr 98 and the WWII Karabiner 98k - along with the C96 'Broomhandle' pistol and high-quality commercial sporting rifles. Value depends on the model, maker and date codes, unit and proof markings, matching numbers, and condition, with matching wartime K98s, rare variants, and fine sporters bringing the most.
Identifying & Marks
Check the receiver maker and date codes, proof and unit markings, and that serial-numbered parts match. Matching numbers, correct wartime codes, and original condition strongly affect value - our specialists verify.
