About the Book:

This project started in late 2006 with the idea of a text on late war K98k rifles. With effort and patience, we have endeavored to bring an up to date study on the late war German K98k Mauser rifle.  As hundreds of thousands were returned and shipped home, and perhaps millions imported from the near post-war to the present age, this rifle is one of the most prolific and visible combat rifles of all time. This reference takes each manufacturer and gives a brief history, filled in with photos of features and original documentation  with serial data tables and gallery photos of representative examples. Each chapter goes into detail regarding finishes, serialization, and stock configuration, and gives a timeline of the introduction of Kriegsmodell features for each maker. Hopefully, you will find this text useful in describing the condition of Germany and the Mauser K98k producers late in World War 2, with two chapters on accessories and documentation of war trophies. The last chapter was one that we thought useful and necessary as it covers the mechanism and documentation generated by the US government for the control of war trophies,  and the method and variety of capture documentation and practice of “getting the stuff home”.

Suggested retail price of the book is $95.00.
