SIGNED "KARABINER 98K VOL 2A" GERMAN WW2 K-98 MAUSER RIFLE SNIPER REFERENCE BOOK

Description

The world had never seen an army like the German army of WW2; as Winston Churchill once said, "If it is to live in peace it must never see another." German troops were outfitted with the superb K-98 Mauser, renowned for its reliability, accuracy, and considerable range. K98k rifles have been of great interest to collectors for decades, leading Bruce Karem and Michael Steves to write another authoritative reference book on the subject in 2017, itself split into two volumes based on manufacturer. Volume 2A covers K98k rifles of WW2 produced by Mauser and J.P. Sauer & Sohn. This SIGNED "KARABINER 98K VOL 2A" GERMAN WW2 K-98 MAUSER RIFLE SNIPER REFERENCE BOOK is in near mint, unread condition, with only some light scattered storage wear evident (most pictured). Otherwise, the book is in near mint shape, with no other damage. Most interestingly, it's signed by both authors via stick label on the title page, boasts an elegantly illustrated dust jacket over hardcovers, and sports 435 pages full of descriptive text, period pictures, and color photographs of K98k rifles of WW2 produced by Mauser (of both Oberndorf and Berlin) and J.P. Sauer & Sohn, with an incredible overview of the manufacturing process at the Mauser factory in Oberndorf, late war features such as pressed metal fittings and phosphate finishes, a strong emphasis on sniper variations and scopes, such as short and long side rail rifles, Zf 39 high and low turret systems, Zf 4 and Zf 41 scopes, and carrying cases, experimental take down and folding stock K98ks by Mauser, Kriegmsarine K98ks, Portuguese contract K98k rifles and bayonets by Mauser, wonderful details on stocks, barrels, fittings, inspection stamps, and manufacturer's marks, and a plethora of other invaluable information.
