That k98 has the look of those Romanians and Albanians that we could buy for less than $100, back in the late 80s and 90s. But most of those were at the least bolt mismatches. They were also import marked, with the proofs peened on the Romanians. But they all had a look about them. You know hard use, with very little care taken of them. Some had fair bores, most didn't and some were counterbored. I would bet that it's a pre-68 import. But it would be one of the better ones. I would pay $300 for it, just to save the history of it.
