The Kar 98a or az is my personal favorite of the German rifles of WWI and have been largely overlooked by collectors, keeping the prices down (much to my relief). Poland used and mfg these rifles in significant numbers immediately after WWI and many that we are seeing today come from the eastern block. I've owned several of these over the years, the last one being a 1908/1920 Spandau. It's impossible to give you a value based on your limited description. They range in price from $200.00 to about $800.00 depending on condition and matching #. The several that I have owned over the years matched throughout -- everything, right down to the screws. Most that I have seen in recent years coming from the Eastern block are mismatched rebuilds. I think SARCO had some a couple of years ago for $175.00, and they were 1920's Radom mfg. There was one in a shop here, all matching except bolt (the az has a unique turn down bolt that is flat and checkered on the inside), and they were asking $400, which I felt was high.
