Nice assemblage of acoutrements, Randall! The gravity knives are especially hard to find. Just as an FYI, the canteen is a post war Swedish.

Thanks for the info about the canteen - now if someone would tell me what kind of holster that is -

Her's a couple of better photos of the gravity knife -its never been sharpened. My uncle got it in Italy.

I believe the holster is a Post War P.38 police holster. Nice 98!!

Randall,

Oh my... what a beautiful K98 rifle!!!

Marc

Fine looking collection of artifacts. That K98 is a shining star though.

Charlie

I think the holster is for a postwar Star B/Astra 600.

Nice little collection there mate ;)

I've owned a couple of 98K's, but have never heard the term 'capture screws' (I live in a closet and have no life)...What are capture screws??? :confused:

Steve,
that figures. Too many of us, brung up heer in da Northeast kant fygur iyt eevur.

small lock screws for the two larger scwers holding the gun together....on the bottom of floor plate..........called lock screws

Nice

Mauser K.98 You are lucky to have the sling and cleaning rod still, I have been looking for rods and slings for my k.98's but they are extremely pricey.

Nice Grouping!!!

Just this AM picked up a complete, with grease, 1939 Mundols cleaning kit.....I remember when I bought my first K98 in the mid 50's, these kits I thhink were running about .95 cents.....but not this morning.

Hello,

May I ask, what is the average going price for cleaning kits?

Thanks much,

John

mine was a freebe, but I think a nice one like this is about $50.

Very nice mauser K98!

anywhere in the range of $50-$75

Very nice K98, I've always been a fan of them since it was one of the first centerfire rifles I shot back about age 6-7. Currently have 3 of them, to include a matching byf 44 too.

When they began importing the boatloads of Russian reworks, most all were missing the lock screws. Apparently Ivan considerd them inconsequencial.

A hue and cry went up from the new generation. of Mauser collectors.

Some one responded to the situation by supplying the screws and renaming them "capture screws."

Not a brillant day in firearms historical events.
