K98 bayo, original?

[Farradin]

Hello friends! I bought this K98 on an auction a couple of days ago. I got it for a pretty fair price (65€), I guess! But what do you think about it? It looks original but could it be a reissue? It also looks like its been polished.

Aside from being polished it looks like a good original to me.

Okey

Shouldn't the scabbard be black?

[Adrian Stevenson]

I agree with Pete. It should be black.

Cheers, Ade.

Thanks! Thought that someone had polished the scabbard! Did I pay too much?

Indeed, a great 1937 example and also a good price in my opinion.
Cheers.

The scabbard is not black. Wasn't using any flash. :P

[talltom]

ahh well 65euro is a very good price usually go for £100+ so you did good

if not using flash then there was a light about 25cm from the bayo
