Karabiner 98 Kurz, back bone of the Wehrmacht.
This K98k was one of many rifle which served with the German army on the Eastern Front during World War 2. It was then surrendered to the Soviet Union along with millions of other like it. The Russian would rebuild them and set them into storage for a future World War, which thankfully did not happen.
So, being a "Russian Captor 98k," it has all the hallmarks, the plum color extractor, mismatched parts, and missing captor screws which I have replaced. It is was produced by Mauser, barrel code "byf" in 1942 and over all in great shape. Considering how hard and moreover expensive German K98k have gotten over the years, I'am happy to have it.
