Just picked this guy up this is my first mauser.
If anyone can help identify where this was used that would be great.
I'm thinking Romanian if you have any idea or advice please feel free to share it, would be a great help. Thanks

Alright after researching the sighthood (that part looks Czech made) i think it's a Czech captured rifle, does this seem accurate? And if so is it somewhat desirable or very common?

"Captured" when it comes to these post war used rifles is a very broad term. Many nations were just given stockpiles of these things after the war. Hard to tell exactly where the rifle finally ended up (besides your collection that is).
I would say it's probably in the same price range as a Russian Capture.
Very nice rifle regardless.

Probably didn't do to bad then, I paid $300 even, and the bore is nice so it should make a decent shooter. nonetheless this one will probably stay in my collection forever

Awesome that's good to know, I've seen different styled stock markings but couldn't find the origin of the numbers on that side. Thank you

Check for numbers in the barrel channel and on the butt by the pistol grip. A lot of times the yugos left the numbers there and renumbered the butt like that is on the bottom left butt. Also the front sight hood is a vz24 hood that someone put on after importation.
