Wanted: Yugoslavian Gewehr 98 Rework

Good afternoon, 

I'm looking for a Gewehr 98M that has been refurbished in Yugoslavia. It is marked with the Yugoslav crest on the top of the receiver ring along with an "Industry 44" marking on the left of the ring right above the wood line indicating in this case, where the rifle was refurbished. 

This rifle, referred to as the M98/48 (n) Sa dugom cevi (translating to: "With long barrel" and the "n" referring to the country of origin, Germany) not to be confused with the M98/48 (n) which were originally German K98k's, these were German WW1 era Gewehr 98's that ended up in Yugoslavia in one of two possible ways:

1) They were kept as war reparations from Germany after WW1 and served in the army of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia during the post WW1 period and up to the WW2 invasion. After that, they could have been used by the occupying forces as a substitute standard rifle or potentially even by the Partisans. After WW2 they were then refurbished and put to service in the JNA. (At some point having their rear "Rollercoaster" sight replaced).

2) They remained in German service and at some point upgraded to the 98M pattern with the replacement of the  rear sights with a simpler leaf sight like the ones present on standard K98k pattern rifles. These rifles then made their way to Yugoslavia (most probably through the occupation) and were captured or seized by the Partisans, refurbished after the war and put into service with the JNA.

Though the Germans did utilize a few substitute standard rifle models during WW2 (vz. 24's, G98/40's, Mannlicher's, etc.), in my opinion, what most likely happened was that they were already in Yugoslavian inventory before the invasion.

Most pictures I was able to find show these rifles as retaining the straight bolt handle, but considering they are interchangeable with K98k bolt handles it would be reasonable to assume that some examples may have a bent one as a replacement part. Also note the finger grooves present in the stock right below the rear sight block.

The extent of their use in the post war years is unclear to me and just how many were refurbished is unknown, but I imagine it was not a lot.

Though I would prefer an all matching and VG condition example, its very unlikely that Id come across one considering how uncommon these rifles are. If you have one and are willing to negotiate, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Thanks for looking, best wishes
