Is this GEW98 worth $600

My friend has this rifle and he doesn't want to sell it, he wants to trade it for another rifle that I can get for $550 plus tax so $600 total.

These are all the pictures I have and the rifle is all matching except the floorplate.

Your comments on it as very welcome.

It looks a bit rough but might clean up nice. I would try talk him down, try waving some cash around.
 
If it is truly matching-original, I think $600 is a good deal. Not a tough year-maker but $600 is a bargain for a matching-original Imperial Gewehr98. Stock looks fine to me, well used and dry but not cleaned or sanded, it is a Bavarian stock too which is a good sign it is original.

Just make sure you look it over for any depot work, replaced parts would hurt its value.
