Anybody familiar with these..? My Grandfather aquired one while in the european theater during WWII. It's pretty awesome, as are some of the other things he brought back. curious if anyone knows much about these rifles. If so, what are they worth..? Mine also has the bayonet with it.

I'll upload some pics later today.

I know it was manufactured @ Waffenwerke Brunn in Brno. It has their marking of: dot & the year 1941 on it.

Any other markings? (eagle of deathhead)

My son has a 1941 with eagle that he shot his first deer with.

Yeah, it has that marking. I didn't try to photograph it, as it is pretty small, & as you can see, I didn't take these pics with the best camera.
