For anyone who is still looking for one of these here is a clip from Dennis's email update. One should arrive at my house on Wednesday and I will post pics.

VERY EARLY NAZI 1935-dated 98k rifles with intact Nazi markings:
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
These are RUSSIAN CAPTURES in EXCELLENT condition with bright strong
(mostly excellent or better) bores and either solid-walnut or lovely
laminated buttstocks (most of them having visible Nazi cartouches on
the wood).
All have G-coded receivers of either MAUSER (code S/42G, 182,317
produced) or SAUER & SON (code S/147G, only 75,574 produced)
manufacture. ALL have mixed pieces-parts (installed by the
Russians) that are fitted to the gun and electropencilled to match
the receiver (the buttstock is shaved and stamped on the left-side
to match). NONE have cleaning-rods or front sight-hoods, and those
with triggerguards having "guard-screws" will be missing
those "guard-screws". ALL have an EXTREMELY attractively 100%
refinish (metal is hot-dip blued) and the wood is very sound.
Headspace has been checked, and all are excellent in
that regard.
These were meant to be (and are) excellent shooters, and none of the
Weimar-style eagles (for this period) have been pinged-out or
otherwise obliterated. $250 each, two for $450, THREE for $625 (all
prices plus actual shipping).
It has been some time since early Nazi Mausers of this quality have
been offered for sale. I seriously doubt that they will last long
(and *NOBODY ELSE* has them at all, so it isn't something one could
order from Century or anyone else).
NOTE: The Russians captured literally MILLIONS of 98k's,
and "reworked" EVERY SINGLE ONE! Not a *SINGLE* example exists for
sale in Russia or the former Soviet States that did NOT undergo
this "refurb" treatment, and literally no "original configuration"
Nazi mausers exist behind what once was "the iron curtain" so THIS
is *IT* for early 98k's (much less than 2% of the total production)
folks!
