Gun Works of Art: 125th Anniversary Mauser 98

2023 was the 125th anniversary of the Mauser M98 rifle, considered to be the father to all modern bolt action rifles, the rifle and its variants were used by the German military in both World Wars and adopted under license by dozens of countries while others simply made copies of the rifle, including our very own Springfield M1903.

Mauser decided to build just 25 Safari Grade special anniversary edition rifles, only 16 of which would be sent to a US distributor. Original asking price was $40,000, I am quite sure their value will increase over time.
