What's to know? It's a Yugoslav reworked WWII Nazi K98k that's had most of the German markings ground off and a Yugoslav crest put on. Work was done on these after the war. They were captured weapons.

Your question is a little vague, is the above sufficient? :)

Preduzece 44 is translated from the Serbo-Croat as "Enterprise 44" which was the 1945-48 name for the old Military Technical Institute at Kragujevac, Serbia, Yugoslavia, before it was renamed Zavodi Crvena Zastava (Red Flag Works.) Zastava and its predecessors produced the vast majority of Yugoslavia's sporting and military small arms (and reconditioned large quantities of captured German and Italian weaponry) and is still in operation today.

Dobar dan, Danko. Perhaps you can answer a couple of questions for me. I have heard that Zastava makes/made a Mauser bolt action sniper rifle in 12.7x99mm and has an 8x56 scope. I have heard it called the L89. Is this true or not?

Also, Yugoslavia manufactured a line of Tokarev-inspired pistols, the M57 in 7.62x25 and the M70 in 9x19. Some documentation I have states that there was previous (to the M70) 9x19 Yugo Tokarev called the Model 65. Is this also true or not?
