This video explores the JP Sauer rifle, a precursor to the iconic K98k, submitted for consideration by the German Army in 1934. The presenter highlights Sauer's pre-existing Mauser-pattern rifle production lines and their access to relevant designs. The Sauer rifle differed from the final K98k standard primarily in its barrel band retention system. The example shown is marked S/147/K, indicating Sauer production in 1934, and is noted for its high serial number, matching parts, and excellent original condition. It provides valuable insight into the German rearmament efforts of the 1930s.
