| Check out my other posts 8 and 10 below this one. That talks about where I bought mine and what kind it is. Its a byf 42, so right there the date is stamped right on the barrel. I don't know a lot about Mausers in general, but got a decent deal on mine according to other peoples comments. A good collectors matching numbers will go for $500 and $600 easy. But mismatched or Russian captures like mine I guess between $200 and $300. I got mine for $230 out the door, in what I think in as good a condition one can be for being so old. I have some pics up of it as well in those other posts, so you can check out the pics if you haven't already. Hope that helps. Good luck. |
