This pistol was one of the 10.350 pieces that this spanish factory send to the occupied France between april and July of 1944. Seems that is a presentation issue for some waffen SS commander.

| While absolutely being the best sniper-rifle of WW2, the K98k is also arguably the best bolt action rifle of the war: (Here you can see some of the different sniper versions of the K98k, fitted with 4x to 6x scopes)

| Well I can definitely understand you, as the Lee Enfield is a great rifle, one of my personal favorites along with the K98k.
