Wondering what the markings mean on a k98 mauser? The receiver says dot 13 stamped 1944. There are also a little eagle on the side. Do you know what the rifle is worth? Can you tell me more about the history? Thanks

  Welcome to the forum.
  
  You are describing a WWII German army Czech manufactured rifle. Made at Waffenfabrik Brunn in 1944. Unsure what the 13 is unless the rifle is double dated and the 13 is actually a 43.
  
  Depending on originality, the rifle could be worth several hundred dollars or it could be worth less than $100.
  
  More information would be needed to accurately say.

  The Germans went to a (3) letter code to camouflage the locations of their manufacturing facilities prior to W W II.
  You rifle was manufactured by "Waffenwerk Brunn" in occupied Czechoslovakia.
