    Matching k98 byf 44

    I have the chance to buy this untouched gun. All matching, sling, great bore etc. I am in negotiations. How high should I be willing to go for such a piece? Thanks for your help.

    What's the seller asking? That's a good place to start, and how badly do you want it? I could tell you what I would pay, but what's your estimate of value??

        It appears to have all machined parts and serial #'d front band (possibly '42-early '43).....So bands, along with pretty much all of the gun will be serial #'d.....A desirable piece to a collector IF undinked with in any way.....I'd say anything under $1200 would be a good deal....Bodes

          I'd say the gun was made well into 1944 based on a few features. Front band and trigger housing look stamped to my eye.

            "I'm sorry Moe, I just can't get used to these bicycle focals".......Now that you mention it, I believe the recoil lug does looks later.....I also believe I see indications of the front band being stamped......Looked milled to me at first impression.....Better pics wouldn't hurt....Bodes

              I'd say more than 1200 USD is expensive. It's always hard to estimate a price for a K98k because people have such different views on what is a fair price. However based on how things are over here I'd say 830-1000 USD. But I am comparing two different markets so read with a grain of salt

                    Looks good to me. I see byf44's selling for good money. I think since they are a bit more common, people are more comfortable with judging originality. I would gladly pay $1000 for that rifle.

                      Top 44 rifle. Here in Norway all 98k`s produced after 43 is a bit rare.
                      The late ones went to the frontlines and the few late variants left in Norway in -45 was not valued good in the post war army cause of the steel quality...
