    K98 Humpery/fakery ID

    When the experts in art antiquities first saw this Getty kouros, within seconds they knew it was a fake ($10M). Similarly, one well versed in k98s can generally determine legitimacy in probably < 1 min. That visceral reaction cannot really be communicated. Getty kouros You’re asking something...

    I need help identifying a k98 and possibly determining the value

    My suggestion is appraisals cost $50, and funds go to support this website. The mechanics can be worked out about what, how, and who does the appraisal by the moderators.

    $3k rifle: Easier to buy or Sell?

    Given there’s a good 98 that has a retail of 3k, and you either own it or it’s for sale. Emotionally, is it easier to buy or sell?

    Newbie- I want to learn about this 44 Model 98

    1) DZ, is a lot code for the barrel 2 ) bnz, is a “secret” code for the mfg of the rifle = Steyr in Austria 3) bnz/1 in a shield is just a logo of who made the barrel = Steyr 4) it’s an inspection stamp = Waa 623, placed by the inspection “team” at Steyr

    Dou 42 Original - Opinions

    While the rear sight base numbers look weird, that wouldn’t stop me (though the price will). No bolt pics provided to confirm it’s okay...

    $2200 Mitchell's?

    https://www.gunbroker.com/Item/1016203243 Guessing it didn't really sell, and will be relisted? Modedit: thread of no value after link expires without a few screenshots. Looks like a lot of shill bidding to me.

    Looking for any extra info on this 98k

    The 0,2 on the barrel shank and basically the blank receiver places this in the more interesting zone from the jump!

    Stock won't fit DOT rifle.

    All parts are not universally interchangeable. Parts were numbered to keep hand fitting/ assembly organized for final assembly

    Correct Butt plate for BYF 43?

    No flat BP as an original build but possibly a Depot rework using an older stock?

    dot 1943 5689 n block Walnut tiger stripe

    This rifle I sought for probably 10 yrs. I bugged the chap in VA (orig owner) every few years, and my last attempt I heard it was sold. It's in good hands w/ Jory. I traveled to SD last year for a visit and saw this one in person. It's actually better in hand! Congrats

    1936 S/42

    Almost always, there is a line marked of blue loss (see attached the two nicest 98 I ever had) across the top bolt flat where the bolt is opened and drawn back. This bolt pic'ed above had me wondering too about the originality of the blue. I was looking for other wear.... and the bolt body...
