The rifle was made in occupied Hungary. It should have a two piece stock. They are quite rare.
If it is a ww2 mauser, the maker & the date made will be stamped on the top of the breech. it will look something like this bnz 43 for a mauser made in 1943 by maker bnz The caliber is 7.92 mm or sometimes referred to as 8mm mauser model 98 means it was made in 1898 and it shoots a 7.9mm or 8mm round i have one with the serial number 4101 also known as Gew 98
10-1000 USD depending on specifics
It MAY. The "broomhandle" Mauser was originally made for a bottlenecked cartridge, the .30 Mauser. It was later made in caliber 9mm Parabellum.
I do not believe the G98 JHV is a Mauser. If I'm remembering correctly, it's a Mannlicher, presumably manufactured in Budapest.The jhv heereswaffenant (german army acceptance code) that you listed stands for Metallwaren-Waffen-u.Maschinenfabrik A.G. Budapest IX,Ungram.in budapest Hungary.
It means the action of the rifle was made by Mauser or copied by someone.
