That is an authentic, late war M98 made by Waffenwerke Bruenn AG, Werk Bystrica.
I'd clean it with a gun solvent and 000 steel wool LIGHTLY. Wipe a dry as you can then put on a coat of paste floor wax. Let it dry and then wipe it hard with a cotton cloth. You can do that with wood and metal, but just lightly with the steel wool to take off any loose oxidation.
That's a nice find at a great price. It's only missing the sling and bayonet from being a complete example in decent shape.
