I'm not trying to be funny, but its worth is what you're willing to pay and can afford.
You can't base the value purely on money. You can always earn more money, but you may not get another chance at a fine rifle.
I missed my chance at a beautiful 94 because of that !!

Howdy Gunner!
I would estimate the value at somewhere between $350.00 and $450.00, if it hasn't been cut. It would be at the upper end of the range if the bluing and metal are in good shape and the barrel condition disc is unmarked or a "1". Here are pictures of two of mine, which I would consider to be near the top of my value estimate:

Hey Calfed,
nice looking rifles. My one ( i have it ) has a "1" and the rest is near collector grade. It seems that the only thing that happens to this rifles was the movements from Husqvarna in the army`s stock and from there to the german collector. Payed less more than 300€. Great price here. Normally you can pay for a rifle in this condition between 500€ privat and up to 750€ at an dealer.

Good job, Gunner.
Have you fired it yet? If so, how does it shoot.
Post a few pics if you get the chance. Also, there are a multitude of military surplus rifle web sites over here, such as the links that I posted. Consider joining those also for an "expanded data base"

Gunner,
I think you stole that rifle. Good going. I've had a bunch of swedes over the years and every one of them was deadly accurate. You'll like it.
