<p>[QUOTE="coreya, post: 367944, member: 915"]Looks like a 45 next to the BYF that would be the year. Need better pics of the forearm area, butt area and any other marks. Its unusual to still have the cover on the front site and the wood looks like its in good condition. This may have been a bring back but you would normally find the front forearm wood cut under the front band ( called a duffle bag cut as the soldier would have to make it fit in his duffle) Its not a Russian capture which was heavily imported here as there is no x under the model 98. That would be 8 mm and is a fine rifle.( I have 3) Values are really based on condition and markings so more pics would help.</p><p>The small mark is known as a waffenamt (not sure of spelling offhand) and is an inspection mark.</p><p>Here is a forum dedicated to the K98 <a href="http://www.k98kforum.com/forum.php" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.k98kforum.com/forum.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.k98kforum.com/forum.php</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
