Manufactured by the Waffenwerke Brunn factory in Czechoslovakia. The top of the receiver is marked "dot/ (eagle/33)/ 1944". The left side of the receiver has an eagle/swastika proof followed by "Mod 98", with the serial number and another eagle/swastika proof ahead on the barrel. The right side of the barrel is stamped with a shield with "dot" and "13" inside followed by block letters concealed by the stock. The components are the stamped and welded barrel bands and the stamped trigger guard and milled floor plate. The "eagle/H" (Heer=Army) proofed stock and hand guard are the correct later laminated versions with the cupped steel buttplate and a steel grommet through it. "dot" is stamped on the underside. The rifle comes with a K-98 10" blued steel bayonet and matching scabbard, with wooden two piece grips and leather frog. The bayonet and scabbard are numbered "F7223" and is marked "CLC44" on the opposite side of the blade and "eagle/ WaA510" on the grip. The leather is dated 1941, and the sheath is numbered to the blade.

Excellent with 97% plus of the original blue finish remaining, however, there is a duffle bag cut under the lower barrel band. There is some light edge and high spot wear with thinning on the floorplate. Unfortunately, there is a slight bulge, 2-3 inches back from the muzzle directly behind the front sight base. The wood is excellent, with all matching numbers, with some pressure dents and scratches. The bayonet has 98% of the original finish, and the sheath shows some light rust on the metal. The leather is very good, with one of the straps missing and the other worn. Excellent display piece.
