That is a fine rifle with the Czechoslovak Crest, a desirable find and actually I believe it to be a VZ 98N provided to Israel. That rifle should have Czech markings on the left , lower side rail. It is a specimen that is well worth the effort and expense to put it back into the correct stock. If you want a Israeli K98k that is one of the best to obtain. Problem, it was Sporterized for hunting. That really decreases the value. THAT RIFLE IS Worth a restoration.

Some of mine are shown in this old SRF post (Military Surplus k98ks commonly found at gun shows)13 pages : Military Surplus k98ks commonly found at gun shows - Page 2 - Surplus Rifle Forum - www.surplusrifleforum.org
