The scrubbed and refurbished German 98’s may still have Waffenamt marks on less-visible locations.
TRZ.1, TRZ.5 and Radionica 124 are the shop markings you need to look out for on Yugo capture k98s. To this day nobody knows where some of these shops were or what the markings mean.

I got my Rad 124 from a very poorly photographed auction with poor descriptions thinking it was a Russian capture. I was told there are fewer than 10 known in the US. That's me, the blind squirrel.
