I forgot to mention the bolt does not match and I tried looking on the internet with not much luck / I do not own a 98 but thought this one looked interesting thanks again for any feedback

Welcome to the forum. My first question is it a live rifle or has the barrel been plugged? Some Gewehr 98s were sold to the US public deactivated, typically with the barrel plugged and the bolt face ground at an angle. Given that the bolt is mismatched, knowing if it is a live rifle will help determine value as well as if there has been any significant damage to the wood which it doesn't look like it has from what I see.
 
It is live as it was brought home by the sons dad / he was in a balloon observation unit WWI
thx
the stock is fine and matching to rest of rifle with matching serial number on it just dirty
thx
steve
