hello ,,the manufacture is k kale and the year made is 1946 ,,there were 2 models.. a long rifle and a short rifle ,,the rifle models have a 29" barrel and the short rifles have a 24" barrel,,proably chambered for the 8mm mauser and proably a 1903/38 conversion or a md 38 rifle..the short rifle woul be a 1938 model short rifle ,,it may or may not have the site graduated in turkish markings and also may or may not have turkish markings on the side of the receiver ,,many many turks were imported in the past 10 years and most will be found with non matching bolts on either model ,,the short rifle will be found with straight or bent bolts while the long rifle will be found with a straight bolt handle ,,it's proably import stamped near the end of the barrel and will proabaly be marked as a m38 and marked turkey along with the importers name which in most cases is C.A.I.,,values for these are starting to go up ,,the long rifle will bring around 125-200 depending on condition and if all original and not cut down,,the short rifle has more value and i'd say it should bring 175-250 again depending on condition,,if the bolt matches the serial number on the rifle then i'd add 10% to these numbers
,,alot of these have been sporterized and a sporterized model will bring less if a home brewed example ,,if professionaly done these make a great action to build on and values would depend how nice the sporter is done ,,
