Persian M98/29

[Nerdling]

Bit of an impulsive buy on my end. Anybody know much of these? I know they rarely go for sale. Not sure what kind of valuation is realistic with minimal price history available.

Matching bolt which is good. All other serials match? British proofs which may hurt value for some purist collectors. They are hard to find though.

As stated above, they don't show up very often.

I was lucky when I found this one from a guy in Alberta somewhere, together with a beautiful Peruvian Mauser.
The Guy sent me both rifles, with their bayonets, in a big homemade box, lined with countless old sweaters and underwear,
The Bayonet is numbers matching, besides a few dents the gun is like new.

The last Pictures are from the Peruvian.

I love those long Mausers

I don’t see any others serials. Rifle is en route to me. Will get a closer look. What kind of valuation range is realistic on these?

Cool rifle!

Valuation wise, a large part of the value you will see for Persian Mausers is due to the condition (like say the Brazilian Mausers). Many were sold off in new condition. I couldn’t accurately say as to what it is worth at the moment, to me a used one like yours is likely in the 800$ range but I could also be out to lunch. Minty ones I could easily see in the 1600-2.5k range.
