Value of Mauser Mod 98 with Nazi stamps?

[dirkmackenzie]

I am looking to put this up for sale in the next few days. Trying to get a feel for what I could sell it for. Any help would be appreciated.

I recently inherited the gun which has been stored for the last 20-30 yrs and has not been touched. In the picture of the bore it looks like rust on the right hand side but there is no rust on the gun it is packing grease. I tried to clean the gun but most of my cleaning materials are at work so I did my best with the little I had. I have not actually shot the gun but I perfromed all the function tests and it appears in great shape. The barrell looks great as well but could not get a decent picture of it.

There are some small Nazi stamps on it but do not show up very well in pictures.

is it all matching?

 

[blista77]

nvm from pics it mismatch so its prob a Rc and they sell for about $400-$600 but its a very nice Mauser

Looks like a ddr, or other euro rework based on the sight hood.
Also stock is wrong. Dou44 should be cupped butt.

What is a RC?

 

[jbmauser]

Definitely a rework of some sort. I was going to suggest Yugo, but the serial was added to the wrong side of the receiver from what I've read about YC's. It looks to be in good condition. Probably in the 400-600 range as blista77 pointed out.

What is a RC?

RC is a Russian capture

 

[collector67]

I was gonna suggest maybe it's from Mitchell's Mausers??

Looks like an east German rework to me.

Cool Kriegsmarine stock on it.

Like Smellie, I am sick and tired of "what's it worth" threads. Getting up there with Bear Defence threads.

 

[Claven2]

It's a late-pattern East German rework. Too bad about the damage to the barrel near the front band.

Dirt is saying its worth 350$ tops, about $300 less what the OP wants for it.

I'd agree with Dirt.....yo

 

[5440fight]

Dirt speaks the truth. $400-425 with no chips in it, $350 as is. Word.

Dem nazis be all kinds a whack, but dey gats be tops!

We need to end what's it worth threads. Make them a specific forum section or something.

100% agree. Should be a no no like WTB or WTS outside of the EE.

 

[Recce21]

Just saw it is on the EE for $650. Sigh......

This is the exact reason I only buy milsurps from gun shows now, because of the artificial CGN price inflation.
