I picked up this CE 43 K98 k today for 400. its non matching, and appears it was a russian capture, but its in great condition. let me know what you think and how much you think its worth. this is NOT a Mitchells mauser, dont worry. and the sling and bayonet are repos.

Nice Rifle. If the bore is excellent then you are a little ahead in relation to value and how much you paid. JP Sauer & Sohn (CE) was no slouch in 43, so it's a fairly common code RC. With the repro sling and bayo, and if the bore is excellent I would say $450-475 for the package is a good deal. RC's are no longer cheap.

H stands for Heer, German for army

I feel you. Keep in mind that your rifle is an RC. It has been assembled and mixedmastered from a ton of k98ks and German utilized large ring 98 rifles. Practically each part of your rifle was used by a different individual and time frame....
