Look at this beauty!

I have a slightly rusted k98 that would be a perfect clean up/restore
All matching 100%
Dou 44 “N”
Slight rust
Can anybody confirm what I’ve got here? or correct anything ?? Will post any pics upon request.
Not knowledgeable on these whatsoever was passed onto me by father.
This post is edited due to errors on original post apparently.
0 idea what I want for it or what I even want to do with it.

So it would be a dot 44 no? Fairly common one to find. All matching 98's aren't moon rocks but aren't like the isles of AR-15's at the shows. Everything depends on the condition. If you want to know about the markings check the picture reference section and find one that is closest to your serial number. Please post some good pics!
 
Dou 44

I apologize no it’s actually a DOU 44.
And it actually won’t allow me to upload pictures from my iPhone XR for some reason.
I have plenty of good pictures.
 
All matching

Still couldn’t find a way to do it won’t work.
Hopefully this works

I’m aware of rust, I am also aware handguard is missing, gun is still amazing condition for the right person. For a avid collector these problems they wouldn’t even bat their eye at. All matching, no import. #6649 Suffix “N”
 
Looks like a nice honest rifle. Not rare, one of the more common codes in fact, but from the photos you show everything looks legit and that’s half the battle. For somebody it will make a nice addition.
 
Is there to hand guard?



He mentions in post #5 that the hand guard is missing. By the photos I would think the bandspring too. looks like the upper band has been driven about a half inch past the front of the bayonet lug. So perhaps all matching except the missing pieces. Some overall photos needed as well though.
 
Sorry guys!

I am actually not fishing at all. I do not know anything about these rifles except from the 15+ hours I have spent researching. This was given to my dad by my grandpa and then pops did the same and gave to me. I had sent info to someone and I got corrected by that same someone who obviously know much either. I can send full videos or pics upon request. Not sure if this is allowed but you can reach me by text at 225-380-4944

I know it’s got rust and pieces missing. The pieces that are missing, minor at most and wouldn’t turn away a collector genuinely interested. Bore is nice.
 
Well the easy answer is lot's of good, clear photos of every mark you can find will get you an accurate assessment as to what you have. You can take the 'value' from there. Sometimes the news is really good.
