1914 Japanese mauser

Saki Joe,

IMHO, $400 is a steal if the piece is in good condition. The model 1914 is almost always found with commercial proofs, occasionally as new in the box. Rarer ones have the military proof and they typically command about $100-125 above the commercials in same condition. A private purchase with japanese inscription would be very rare and among Mauser collectors, I would estimate getting $600-700 would be easy. You should get the inscription translated.
