 Safety Reminder for Buyers and Sellers 

This is an automatic reply meant to protect you as a buyer and a seller on TGO.

• Use the Buyer/Seller Feedback feature to research who you are dealing with.   Please come back and leave feedback for each other after the transaction is complete.  Your experience will help others.
   
• Never agree to use an electronic form of payment to buy or sell a gun!  None of the electronic payment services will protect you against fraud in a firearms transaction.  They all have terms of service FORBIDDING the use of their services to buy/sell guns.  DON'T DO IT.
   
• Be very wary of anyone who insists on brokering a deal in private or outside of TGO.  Scammers almost always prefer to operate out of the public eye.

As I understand your posting,  the rifle was produced in 1944.  I believe Yugoslavia was still under German occupation.  Does this rifle have the German marks?

Preduzece 44 was a Yugoslavian gun factory that reworked German K98’s after WWII before they started making M48’s.  It literally translates to “factory 44”, not the original year of production.

Thanks for enlightening me.  But still, the German marks should still be there correct?

Not necessarily.  The German marks may have been removed and refinished over.  It has the communist Yugoslavia crest on the receiver so it's most likely post WWII.

Although I have a1942/3 German sniper Mauser and a M48,  they’re not my thing.  I collect U.S. military firearms.  Sorry for my confusion. GLWS
