General Mauser Rifle Questions / Re: Czech Mauser Identification

Very interesting. My book doesn't even reference a Polish Mauser but then again, it isn't a Mauser specific book. Sounds like you're going to be spending some time deep in the interweb? 
Value can be a tough one. I usually use the gun auction sites and Armslist as a guide and go from there. Interestingly, I have found your location can also have a determination of gun value or perhaps i should say how much someone is willing to spend on a Mauser.
I concur about a good reference book, I'm thinking I need to add to my printed library!

) and I believe, not absolutely positive, you have possibly a Yugoslav M1948. By your description, the Slavs would build their Mausers using parts from all other sources; German, Czech, Turk, etc. They would often remove all identifying marks except serial numbers and then restamp their crest....sometimes! A very strong indicator that it is a Yugo is the bolt knob will be flattened on the inboard (stock side) side of the knob. HOWEVER, most Yugos I have seen have the insert style stock for the sling as where yours appears to be a ring type sling which is a bit unusual but not entirely impossible for a Yugo. Again, I could be wrong but most of the signs point in that direction.
