Selling a fairly rare refurbed German K98k. The Yugos refurbished thousands of K98k's that were captured or surrendered by the Germans at the end of WW2. The MOD 98 on the left siderail of yours indicates German manufacture. The top off the receiver was scrubbed of the German maker code and a Yugo crest was applied there. The TRZ stands for Tehnick Remontni Zavod( basically technical refurbishment facility), the numeral 5 represents the individual facility in Hadicizi in present day Bosnia(just outside Sarajevo). TRZ5 had a small output of rifles and I have read that the stamped TRZ5 is much rarer than the script version having been done early in 1946. This rifles value will go up fast as there is less and less m98’s out there in excellent condition. Any questions please let me know.
