All matching WWII K98 bring back and German Dagger

[DW357]

It's a 1st model Left dagger. I paid $1,500 for a mint one with all aluminum fittings.

Ohh. Well this one certainly isn't mint condition but I'd imagine it must be worth ~$800 anyway?

Rifle is $1500-$2000 by itself.

Not bad! Glad my friend was able to get this after being passed down through his family over the years. Thanks for the info Tim!

For the oil soak, I use Mobil 1 synthetic with a light mix of transmission fluid. It takes a while to work, but it does wonders!

If it all cleans up well, without taking away any finish or patina, it's a $3,000-plus package.

Wow! Mobil 1 and transmission fluid?! haha. I'll pass on the recommendations to my friend. And $3k isn't too bad. Thanks for your help/advice!

Also forgive my ignorance of these rifles, but my friend said he wanted to try shooting it soon. I assume this rifle can shoot any modern commerical 8mm ammo? Any things to watch out for? Probably ought to clean/lube it before shooting of course.

Many collectors indeed fire their higher end specimens.

I don't risk damaging the guns, myself.

how is the bore? If the outside is rusty, gotta wonder if the bore is any good

Yeah seriously, that's a very good question. I'll have to give the bore a quick look with the flashlight.
