Try Late War . com. They have an extensive database on 1945 German rifles. A good start for a 1944 version.

dou was the code for rifles made in Brno by Bystrica in what was then Czechoslovakia

it's hard to say if you got a good deal without pics. how's the bore? shootable? are the markings still there or have the swastikas been peened?
