    Nirvana for Mauser Collector

    Hello Guys

    Feast your eyes on this and tell me why it should sell for several thousand big ones, I haven't seen one of these for sale in NZ in 30 years of collecting Mauser sporters!

    PS - if you know why this is special just give a wink rather than letting the cat out of the bag . . . . Questions welcome however!

    Ok, giz a hint. Not that familiar with the minutae of Mauser sporters - but what I see is an early 7x57 commercial action Type B in a lower grade, no set trigger or fluff apart from the Obendorf floorplate release? I've handled one very similar to this before in NZ although I recall a different chambering.

    You'll have to educate the masses to what we are missing but probably after the auction finishes haha.

    Yup no clues until the auction gets beyond my pocket. Manufactured 1936/37 according to Jon Speed. Pretty unlikely to have been a war trophy.
