Thx Briman,

Yes I am discussing the honest k98 rearsenalled and crested Yugo's.

As I view it the difficulty with discussing these pieces is the fact that the original markings have been removed. This of course means you can't simply look at the reciever to determine the year it was manufactured. Withoutproduction datesyou have no idea of relative quality of maufacture...(early model vs late)

Are you aware of any secondary charectoristics that would help determine the original year of production? (Assuming the gun has all original parts, as most seem to be very close.)...For example would it be safe to assume that if the gun had matching bolt, reciever, floorplate, and the stock featured an early flat style buttplate that it was in fact an earlier k98 model?

As I mentioned earlier an additional info would appreciated...

Also any idea of fair price on a good quality model...
