hesbinrubn Report post Posted July 6, 2017 Any old military gun appraiser that you suggest? I did a little research and am looking to get more info along with value. Took to Cabelas as well and they weren't much help. They said it looks like a Mauser action and gun could be worth $250-400, but also said it could be $6000. Anyways, instead of trying to post pics and ask the masses I thought I could find an appraiser and get solid info. Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

L Cazador Report post Posted July 6, 2017 An appraisal with such a disparaging spread as $400-600 to $6000 does not sound like an accurate assessment of your firearm. But in defense of that info, it sounds like there was something lacking in the solicitation of that appraisal. If there is documentation that could provide an actual ownership and provenance that could make it worth $6000, it would be wise to include it in your endeavor to determine an accurate value for your firearm. Without any documents, you are left with identifying proof marks and remaining condition to determine a possible value. With all that said, the folks that quoted you that value were doing so to the best of their knowledge. "Man at Arms" magazine is one of the best sources for information regarding valuation of militaria.
