I acquired this k98 Mauser and from an estate sale. What I see it is a Gustloff Werke, Weimar mouser the stock and receiver have SN 8561 the bolt parts have 6185, 9062 and 9441 numbers the trap door has 5440 and 6897. The bayonet has 2150, 3194, and 7814 numbers on it.
I am trying to figure a price on the gun. I can't seem to upload pictures

How much did you pay? That's usually a good guide to what something is worth. :laugh: Better photos would help too.
 
Your rifle is a “Russian Capture” K98 as identified by the “X” over the serial number. The Russians captured huge numbers of K98 rifles during the WWII, and they took them all apart, refinished the parts, and reassembled them with randomly selected parts. SO they are not as made, and as such have much less value to collectors.

People do use them as “shooters” or for re-enacting so that they don’t risk damaging an original all matching gun. Value is very subjective with R/C guns. You’ll get estimates all over the scale but always much lower than “as made” guns.

Depending on condition (especially bore), anywhere from 300~700. Better close up photographs would help to determine value.
