No 8 - Mauser

German KAR 98k MAUSER 7.92 mm manufactured 1939.

This rifle has been used by the German military and then surrendered in Czechoslovakia at war's end.

It has been a part of one of history's greatest arms smuggling operations and ended up in Israel for use by the new Jewish State. In the early 1950's it has been altered to 7.62mm calibre.

The great irony is that it carries both Nazi markings and Hebrew script.

These rifles are highly sort after by international collectors. We are very fortunate to be able to display this rare and historically significant piece.
