Stephen PalosHelp me with Original Mauser Sporter Values
After a long wait my two "ladies" have arrived.
I really need some help with estimating values for insurance (and curiosity) reasons.
Both are DOUBLE SQUARE BRIDGE with SOLID LEFT SIDE-WALL. Numbers all match, although I have not looked under the wood yet.
First is a 10.75 x 68 Type A No. 117282 (circa 1936/7) with round barrel, express sights-one standing, four folding, single trigger and push-button floorplate release.
