According to this essay on the development of the Kar 98, you should have the small ring version, pictures here. As you can see you're missing the front stock and the end cap with the stacking hook. Finding that end cap with the hook will be difficult as it was specific to that model. Best way to restore would probably finding a shot-out non-matching donor rifle and make one original from it.

As I get older I find hitting a mini ram at 200 yards with the 22 oddly more satisfying.
