The final match of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 ended several hours ago and Argentina became the world champion. To commemorate the 22nd Copa Mundial, Austrian gunmaker Johann Fanzoj built eight Mauser 98 pattern bolt action rifles each featuring one of the stadiums the matches took place in inlaid on the magazine floorplate and the World Cup on the grip cap.
Al Bayt, Ahmad Bin Ali and Ras Abu Aboud stadiums
Here is the Johann Fanzoj social media post that was accompanying these pictures:
Honored to participate in preserving the memory of the first soccer World Cup ever held in an Arab country.
