The world had never seen an army like the German army of WW2; as Winston Churchill once said, “If it is to live in peace it must never see another.” German troops were outfitted with the superb K-98 Mauser, renowned for its reliability, accuracy, and considerable range. K98k rifles have been of great interest to collectors for decades, leading Bruce Karem and Michael Steves to write another authoritative reference book on the subject in 2017, itself split into two volumes based on manufacturer. Volume 2B covers K98k rifles of WW2 produced by ERMA, BLM, Gustoff-Werke, Steyr, and Brünn, as well as reworks and depot builds, and rifles of the SS. This “KARABINER 98K VOL 2B” GERMAN WW2 K-98 RIFLE SNIPER SCOPE BAYONET REFERENCE BOOK is in near mint, unread condition, with only some light scattered storage wear evident (most pictured). Otherwise, the book is in near mint shape, with no other damage. Most interestingly, it boasts an elegantly illustrated dust jacket over hardcovers, and sports 465 pages full of descriptive text, period pictures, and color photographs of K98k rifles of WW2 produced by ERMA, BLM, Gustoff-Werke, Steyr, and Brünn, as well as reworks and depot builds, and rifles of the SS, with a strong emphasis on sniper variations and scopes, such as short and long side rail rifles, double and single claw mounts, Ajack, Ebra, Köhler, and Wetzlar 4 power scopes, and carrying cases, wonderful details on stocks, barrels, fittings, inspection stamps, and manufacturer’s marks, all kinds of data tables, a great section on bayonets, scabbards, frogs, slings, ammo pouches, cleaning kits, and action covers, and a plethora of other invaluable information. A beautiful example of a “KARABINER 98K VOL 2B” GERMAN WW2 K-98 RIFLE SNIPER SCOPE BAYONET REFERENCE BOOK.
