Verify K98k 'byf' 44

[R005t3r]

Before embarking upon installing an LSR mount I would like to verify that I am not destroying a significant rifle. It has clear Nazi proofs on the barrel and receiver. It is a Mauser Werke AG Oberndorf am Neckar product. The receiver, bolt, trigger guard and stock match; possibly forced. Waffenamt 77( Steyr- Daimler-Puch 40-44) are on the bolt body and trigger guard. Waffenamt 135 ( Mauser Oberndorf 41-45) is on the receiver. The barrel is circularly stamped: 44D44. I have not been able to identify the small 'f' suffix after serial on the receiver. It is likely an arsenal rebuild; I just want to know if it was the Germans or the Russians. It shoots MOA. Any input would be appreciated.
