Gil,
I have seen a few Russian capture 98s and most were well worn. I have a Finnish capture M40 Tokarev that is in pretty good shape.
I read the surrender terms Zuhkov sent to Paulus at Stalingrad in January 1943. One point was, "Surrender all small arms in good condition to Russian forces." On the History channel, I see Russians carrying just about all the German small arms of WWII, most prominent are the MP-40 submachine guns then the Luger and P-38. I do not often see 98s in Russian hands; the censors may have edited that part out.
