That's right. A Danzig '98 rifle converted to a carbine when they changed from rifle to carbine as standard. You see them occasionally but not as common as one would think. Specially where I am.

Value on this one is tough. There has to be a market for something to get a good price and as this is a conversion, not as large a market as for either an original GEW98 or an actual K98. Condition also plays a factor as does matching numbers, etc. That being said, starting value is probably at least $500, where it goes from there is hard to say.

Stock is Yugoslavian. Rear barrel band is mounted to the wrong side, but they are anyway wrong (very late stamped/welded type, while correct for this rifle would be milled). Check the triggerguard, appears to could be the early type.
